With a background in information technology, particularly in systems infrastructure virtualization, Michael LeMay was well-equipped for his journey of transforming words into imagery through text-to-image Generative AI technology. His passion lies in illustrating Ancient Nubian Women in diverse capacities, with a specific focus on ancient Nubian women cultures.

Growing up in the vibrant city of Chicago, LeMay found inspiration as a teenager on the iconic Michigan Avenue, famously known as the Magnificent Mile.

 

The dynamic energy of this environment significantly influenced him, fostering creativity and motivation. LeMay spent numerous days at the Art Institute of Chicago and engaged in freelance work as a fashion illustrator. His artistic endeavors were shaped by influential figures such as Stan Lee (REX), Craig Perry (WAK), and Kevin Williams. Learning the significance of the understanding the human anatomy from Kevin Williams as a kid, helped to reinforce his skills as a fashion and super hero illustrator.   

​

LeMay's early exposure to fine arts, facilitated by his mother who brought various art-centered literature into their home, introduced him to luminaries like Raphael, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Gordon Parks, James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, and Dubois. Serving in the United States Navy provided LeMay with an opportunity to delve into the world of photography as a Naval photographer. After an honorable discharge, he shifted his focus to thriving in the arts, combining his studies with work as a freelance wedding photographer.

​

His journey extended into the realms of psychology, writing, and independent publishing, culminating in the establishment of a multimedia conglomerate. This conglomerate is dedicated to disseminating thought-provoking content on the subject of "Avoiding Divorce for Black Men" through various mediums, including print, electronic, and auditory media.

LeMay aspires to serve as a vessel for restoring families and preventing the trauma of divorce and fighting the pervasive practice of divide and conquer in African American families. 

 

His mission is to produce substantive and transformative content that offers healing and guidance from his own real life experiences, for those navigating challenging life situations, such as divorce, financial setbacks, illness, or the loss of a loved one. Through his work, LeMay seeks to offer support and encouragement to individuals facing precarious circumstances, fostering a sense of hope and resilience.
