My name is Desawna SIS Buford. I am a writer, director, designer, and multidisciplinary artist based in Detroit, Michigan. Through storytelling, I aim to create work that heals, inspires, and transforms. I’m the founder of CultureTales, a creative platform rooted in community, spirit, and legacy. Most recently, I turned my seven-part newspaper series into a book titled Water to the Soil. This project invites readers to join me on a spiritual journey—one of self-discovery, resilience, and inner growth. Whether you’re finding your footing or learning to walk your path, this book offers a space to reflect, feel, and evolve.
