Living In Our Nation (LIONs) seeks to highlight di yutes, or the LIONs of this generation living in Jamaica.
LIONs draw attention to their unique way of dress, body language, friends, and style.
The aesthetic utilizes illustrated graphics to place the characters in environments that help draw attention to who they are.
