About the artist
Aiysha Sinclair is a Caribbean-American children’s book author, doll artist, and storyteller. Born in Brooklyn to Guyanese and Trinidadian parents, Sinclair moved with her family to Southern California where she was raised and began her career in the performing arts. Her upbringing was deeply rooted in family tradition, spirituality, and Caribbean culture, which helped shape her artistic lens. Sinclair’s work focuses on Black history, folktales and folk songs, and fairy tales — themes that have been an intricate part of her personal studies and career in film and stage across more than 20 years.

Through experimental public programs, immersive workshops, riveting lectures, and topical symposia, the Evans Center immerses students and community members in the rich tapestry of Black expression.
