About Kelcey (she/her)

Kelcey Anyá is a multi-disciplinary performing artist hailing from the bayous of South Louisiana.

From Kelcey:

“When we come together and share our stories, when we collectively use our voices to take up space together; that is when we are at our highest, truest, most powerful selves. #IAmStatera because community is just so damn important! We are at our strongest when we are together.” 

“My heart thrives and beats for the performing arts! I'm a multi-hyphenate. I want it all and I won't stop until I get it. As a Black woman, it is my personal mission to have our voices heard from the rooftops and make the arts accessible to young Black girls around the world! This is my journey to Female Empowerment and World Domination! Strap in and enjoy the ride.”
