Ashley Miah, known as Lee Lee La Cubana, is a contemporary pop-artist and cultural curator whose work explores the intersection of art, style, and self-worth. Drawing from Afro-Caribbean and Latinx heritage, New York City’s urban landscape, and the visual language of divine femininity, her pieces reimagine pop culture through a soulful, femme-centered lens. Through a blend of bold imagery, cultural iconography, and wearable formats, her practice turns everyday objects and rituals into modern-day altars. Each artwork invites viewers to recognize their presence, story, and personal style as sacred forms of expression. Centered on themes of identity, nostalgia, and empowerment, Lee Lee’s work bridges visual art and fashion to honor both the inner world and outer aesthetic of contemporary womanhood.
