Bio
Hello, my name is G. Leota Kennedy. I like to go by G. or Leota. My pronouns are they/them. I am from Iowa but recently moved to Oregon to go to school and be closer to family. I am an honor roll student with a GPA of 4.0 attending Portland State University three-quarter-time as I am also working part-time. I have fully embraced my passions for Visual Arts and expression, but I am also planning on a minor in counseling psychology.
