Resume

I’m Liliana (Lily) Epps — a development strategist, community-centered organizer, multidisciplinary artist, and certified yoga teacher born and raised in Los Angeles. My work exists at the intersection of creativity, care, and social justice, grounded in the transformative power of art, human connection, and collective liberation.

What I bring to partnerships, collaborations, and teams is:
• A creative lens that centers nuance, imagination, and depth
• A strategic approach to fundraising and development
• A warm, collaborative presence that invites people in — and invites the work to evolve
• A commitment to equity, joy, and liberation in every project I engage with

As a development consultant, I specialize grant writing and fundraiser supporting nonprofits serving multiply-marginalized communities. I bring insight, precision, and heart to the work of resource building — helping mission-driven teams secure funding, strengthen operations, and expand their impact.

My artistic practice, under the name Liliana Jeanine, expands through poetry, music, songwriting, movement, and visual art — mediums through which I explore vulnerability, love in its many forms, liberation, resilience, and what it means to show up fully in an often alienating world. Whether it’s a self-produced song, a reflective poem, or community-centered workshop, my work is always rooted in curiosity, care, and connection.

I also teach yoga and embodied practices that support healing, self-awareness, and restoration — believing that creativity and wellness are essential to sustaining long-term change for individuals and communities alike.

I’m always learning, expanding, and creating — and I love connecting with others who are building with intention.
