Telease Bowen is a 2023 graduate of The George Washington University Milken Institute of Public Health. During her time at GW she not only studied and developed insights on helpful healthcare practices for vulnerable populations, but Telease spent a lot of time prioritizing the development of her creative skills. Telease has served as 2021 VP of Marketing for GW’s Black Student Union, the 2022 Co- Creative Director for the contemporary art showcase, Black Heritage Celebration: Soul Revue, the 2023 Editorial Director for GW’s Black ACE Magazine, and more community reach projects. Now, she is launching her second podcast, called “telease thinks,” where she will continue pursuing creative direction and mastery of linguistic creativity/ message delivery. In addition to an expansive creative background, her studies in both public health and Africana Studies make her a “well-rounded & well- informed citizen and artist.” She hopes to utilize her diverse field experience to evolve the visual voice for VoCA as their 2023 Access & Accessibility: Reaching New Audiences Project fellow.
