Devonna is a multidisciplinary artist, cultural alchemist, and educator from Scarborough with proud Guyanese roots. Her work lives at the intersection of storytelling, ceremony, movement, and music. She thoughtfully blends diasporic traditions with contemporary performance to create transformative experiences that speak to healing, identity, and liberation.

For over a decade, Devonna has designed innovative, arts-based learning spaces across Ontario as a classroom teacher, curriculum designer, and director. She is also a long-time facilitator with Children’s Mental Health Ontario, where she supports racialized youth in reclaiming their voices and transforming lived experiences into leadership, creative expression, and community care.

As a performer and emerging theatre-maker, Devonna weaves poetry, song, mythology, and divination into immersive works that honour her ancestors, cultivate joy, and invite audiences to reflect. Her artistic values: liberation, creativity, wellness, integrity, wisdom, and connection shape every aspect of her practice. Whether designing retreats, crafting rituals, or building narratives, she centres softness, culture, and the belief that everyone can redesign their story.

Devonna is currently developing Wonder Seeker, an experimental performance project inspired by her children’s story about courage, rebirth, and finding liberation after grief. Through this work, and through her broader creative ecosystem, she remains committed to building sacred, imaginative spaces where people can breathe, remember themselves, and unlock their potential.
