About Jammie:

Jammie Niemeyer was born in Oklahoma city, Oklahoma to a Caucasian mother and African-American father and moved to southwestern Minnesota at a young age to find herself in an area where she was the only African American. As a kid, Jammie was always doodling and drawing on everything and has used art as a way to cope with mental health and self image. “ I love art and how it can touch people” says Jammie about her connection to healing through art.

Jammie has never met her father or learned much of his cultural heritage growing up and so her work on Project 44 was a way for Jammie to intentionally reach into her African American roots to learn more about the people that influenced her life. Jammie chose to use the number 44 because it has taken 44 elected presidents of the United States of America until an African American president held the seat. “I feel it is important for all of us to see where we come from" says Jammie about Project 44 and the influence she hopes this project will have on others.

Jammie also teaches doodle classes and is available for public speaking events on art and mental health.
