Diaz was born in the Chicago suburb of Waukegan, Illinois, though she grew up in Houston, according to. She has been creating art since she was a child, and as a young adult she worked in a Texas tattoo shop. “It feels like an important moment for her work and for her process of hopeful re-entry,” they said. “A story like Jamie’s could very easily be told through a lens of trauma, but there’s so much joy here, and there’s so much joy in her work.”
The prison system is “made to dehumanize you, and she’s very centered in who she is,” Cooney said. “She also has pride, and she’s able to express it, and that’s really profound.”
