I am ​ifetayo ​jabari-​Kitwala

Strategist. Advocate. Creative.



“In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”

- Albert Einstein


I am a champion for change in the ​communities I serve, looking to ​create an impact that lasts ​generations.

Connection to the world around us has been a goal of mine ​since I was a young child. I was taught to find the beauty in ​the balance of differences. I was encouraged to find the ​beauty in both the left and right sides of my brain. This ​encouragement led me to seek out opportunities as I possibly ​could.


In the middle of a global pandemic, I made the decision to up ​root my life and move to Los Angeles, CA from Baltimore, MD. ​I’ve never been to the city, I knew very few people there, but I ​knew it was where God was calling me be.


My passion for art and design stems from my Grandmother ​who used to draw portraits using ink and sticks she’d find in ​out backyard. Her innovative, dont-take-nuthin’ attitude ​continues to push me to be a better artist, advocate, ​strategist, and now, business owner.


My journey

Ifetayo is a Los Angeles based marketing freelancer with 5+ years of experience in ​social media marketing, public relations, graphic design and business development ​for a variety of industries. She is a resilient young artist and advocate who is driven ​by curiosity and continuously seeks to be challenges by the world around her. ​Much of her experience comes from her employment, extracurricular programing ​or individuals as clients. Ifetayo is looking to build her business and skills by taking ​on small brands, businesses and boutiques in the near future.
