Lajuana is on my mind all the time too. She was my dear friend of the last 2+ years who often spoke of your friend, Jaz Arnold — she spoke about Jaz with immense love, respect and gratitude — and that art show — she was awed that such a young woman was so capable and generous with her time, talent and work to put that show together for her — and she was so proud of the money she earned from her art sales from that show. She thought one day they might have another show — possibly in NYC.

Thank you for writing this acknowledgment of Lajuana’s life from the perspective of someone who experienced her gorgeous brilliance in her beloved late night community of Wicker Park.
