Support local artists! YANA x LauraLee Benjamin Collab Lighters
YANA's mission is to cultivate connections for creative communities. Lauralee Benjamin is an Artist, Business Owner, and Content Creator from Queens, New York. Her main medium is Acrylic paint on canvas where she then creates a digitized copy to transfer onto her merchandise and content for social media. LauraLee’s non-conformist style makes you think twice about your own idea of sexy and expands this concept for so many. She provides a prohibited view point to a larger audience through her art and provokes your imagination and emotions. LauraLee gives pussy power a new meaning.
The collab art piece titled, Manifest Your Own Destiny, is a combination of the classic LauraLee style of the blue-green hand fingering the YANA universe style. The concept was created to depict the importance of cultivating your mind and manifesting your own destiny through self love and following your intuition. LauraLee's blue green hand style reminds us that color does not matter and we are all uniquely different. We can ALL see ourselves in the image when color is distorted and does not matter.

Our YANA Talent Agent, Gina Joubin, found this gem of a human being and brought her into the network of YANA Creatives. We have worked with LauraLee on showcasing her artwork at a YANA Full Moon Festival and we continued the relationship by creating a collab art piece that is now on lighters we sell at our YANA shop.
YANA hosts 420 friendly events in DC every month! We curate social wellness experiences surrounding holistic wellness and creative expression. Our mission is to cultivate deeper connection within ourselves and with others in the YANA community. Our event dates revolve around the moon cycles to highlight our relationship with mother earth instead of celebrating man-made hallmark holidays.

The staff was so amazing, they were helpful and kind each time I have gone. I love that they are all woman owned and have fun events like paint and puff! The interior of the store is very cute and homey.
