Maliah Siyoum
My name is Maliah Siyoum. I am the oldest of four siblings and an 18-year-old freshman at Santa Monica College, majoring in art. Growing up, I’ve always been surrounded by creativity and kindness, which continues to inspire both my artwork and the way I live. I’m very passionate about helping my community and engaging in activism, and I hope to use my voice and creativity to support and uplift others.
As an aspiring artist, I aim to build a career that allows me to express myself while creating work that resonates with others. Outside of school, I enjoy spending my time on my favorite hobbies, including making art, gaming, meditating, reading, and traveling. During my time in college, I’m excited to continue growing as both an artist and a person.
