They are a B.A.M.F, y’all not the same. Ziiomi is an ever evolving Blackity Black, loudly queer movement artist, who sweats glitter & smells like sweet cocomango shea. Zii is an embodied Et Cetera, period!

As a non-binary multi-hyphenate, they give big GLIT energy on their best day/s. When dueting with liberation Zii comes out to play as D R I P, the freest version of themmeselves who does not know a world without pleasure & hopes you never do either. Swimming in the erotic, slithering up poles, & dancing as a fireworker & flow arts aerialist brings themme joy.

They feel most fulfilled when collaborating on projects that feel like soul food. Raised in the South, grown across the East Coast, & seasoned with a generous dash of international spice; Zii carries home in their pockets.

You can find them luxuriating at the intersections of both/and. They believe if it ain’t a full body YES, it’s a no! As a mover of over 27 years they have had the privilege to collaborate + work with many folx! Nia Witherspoon, Chanon Judson & Urban Bush Women, nicHi Douglas, Maria Bauman & MBDance, Sydnie L. Mosley Dances, Ani Taj & The Dance Cartel, NOVA CYPRESS BLACK, Nana Chinara & Healing the Black Body, Aya Lane, Monique Muse Dodd, Ryan Hart & Sinking Ship Creations, Ebony Noelle Golden, The Illustrious Blacks, The Muse Circus School, Antonio Sisk, Atlanta Ballet, Ballet Tennessee, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Tyler Perry Productions, OWN Productions, & Nylon Magazine to name a few. Ziiomi was a 2022 New York Community Trust Van Lier Fellow through Urban Bush Women’s Apprenticeship Program.

It is always their intention to collaborate, explore, & share in the continued spirit & effort to heal Blackqueer bodies.

Ziiomi welcomes invitations to connect & create around work that: is worldbuilding/bending, interdisciplinary, immersive, pleasure-seeking, through a liberatory lens, grounded in ritual, centering Blackness, uplifting queer & trans identities, and/or telling the stories that deserve to be told.
