Born and raised in Queens, NY—also known as “The World’s Borough” and the most diverse county in the country—I was positively shaped by exposure to different cultures from an early age. Growing up in such a rich tapestry of communities instilled in me a deep appreciation for diversity, inclusion, and the stories that connect us all. I have always been at the heart of dynamic influences and progressive movements. This unique upbringing has shaped my worldview and professional endeavors profoundly. In 2020, I embraced the title of cultural curator, focusing on representing and preserving the diverse arts, customs, and social practices of various communities and brands.

I transcend the confines of my given name, embracing the mystical moniker of Bleu Stevens. When combined, the name Bleu Stevens signifies a powerful connection to nature and heritage. 'Bleu' represents a deep connection to the ocean, symbolizing depth, tranquility, and the vastness of exploration. 'Stevens,' meaning crown, conveys a sense of honor and legacy. Together, Bleu Stevens embodies a persona rooted in natural beauty and enriched with noble heritage, suggesting a journey of exploration, honor, and profound connection to one's roots.

However, within the gentle familiarity of my family's embrace, I revert to the tender name of Jessica – a reminder of the roots that ground me, the love that sustains me, and the connection to my origin.

As a cultural curator, my soul dances when capturing life through the lens of photo, film and design. I find profound joy in preserving moments that often slip from memory, for they become the building blocks of history itself.
