My name is Ashantia Coombs, and I am a 23-year-old aspiring animator from Jamaica, living with sickle cell disease. Despite the challenges posed by my condition, I remain determined to pursue my passion for animation. Currently, I am majoring in digital design, where I am honing my skills and creativity. One of my biggest dreams is to work with Walt Disney Studios on an animated film, bringing stories to life through vibrant visuals and characters. I believe that animation has the power to inspire and uplift, and I aspire to contribute to this magical world, sharing my unique perspective and experiences.
