Aminah Decé is a poet, educator, and consultant whose work uses imagination as a path toward cultivating voice, discipline, and meaningful connection. With over two decades of experience as an artist, teacher, and program strategist, she focuses her efforts on helping young people build self-confidence and self-efficacy through culturally relevant creative expression. 
​
Aminah began her journey at the World Combat Academy: Institute of Martial Science and as a slam poet in Texas under the name P16, using spoken word to explore identity and dismantle harmful narratives.

​

Her interdisciplinary practice was further shaped by her studies at Solano College and the University of Texas at San Antonio, where she earned degrees in Humanities, Fine Arts, and Art History/Criticism. 
​
Aminah has performed at South by Southwest, Luminaria, The McNay Art Museum, The Carver Cultural Center, and numerous schools and universities across Central Texas. She is a recipient of the San Antonio Individual Artist Grant and was a foundational participant in La Otra Taller Artists Residency. Her current projects include the EP Queendom Come with Andrea "Vocab" Sanderson and the visual and literary series Birds Fly Away. 

​

After serving as a visual arts instructor in public education, Aminah chose to pursue her work full time in consulting, creative program development, and workshop implementation in collaboration with nonprofits and cultural organizations. Her practice continues to evolve at the intersection of art, education, and community engagement, encouraging both herself and others to see themselves more clearly, move with greater confidence, and participate more fully in the world around them.
