    Meet Diana "Didi" Contreras

    LEAH Arts District

    It's amazing how identities morph and take shape over time. From a little patch of warehouses and thrift shops (with the occasional cafeteria sandwiched in between), the (Hia)Leah Arts District is on the cusp of ushering in a major culture shift. I follow several artists on Instagram and decided that I would have to find this small parcel of land to explore today. Unlike Wynwood, I was seemingly the only unofficial person there – to the extent that more than one business owne
