The Brand
Founded by LM Diverse, SE7EN27 is a global creative brand that combines literature, performance art, film, and self-identity storytelling into an unconventional celebration of creative excellence, wealth generation and a unified artistic identity.
Lebo Diverse
“Let's heal and grow together. In the Name of Art - Create”
Lebo Diverse is an acclaimed South African author, spoken word artist, multidisciplinary creative – cultural producer, and the Founding Director of LM DIVERSE and Project SE7EN27.
Through decades of lived experience, Lebo has created art that confronts systemic trauma, navigates spiritual awakening, and dismantles the notion that Black queer identity is finite or immoral.
From creative collaborations in Kwa-Thema to public art exhibitions in Manchester and Denmark, Lebo’s creative direction becomes a vital sanctuary where art provides clarity, existence, and collective healing.
