WELCOME TO

 

I would like to give you some history of how this idea came about:

Recently, I was in a major car accident where my car flipped three times and I thought I wasn't going to survive. However, I miraculously walked away from it.  Three days prior, I was let go from my job. I was very depressed and was wondering why I am still on this earth. I yelled at God asking "Why am I still here?" And "What am I supposed to be doing?"  At that moment I just couldn't think of a reason to be here anymore. I was in a very dark place. Then I came across a video where Oprah was telling her story of how she overcame so many things. Then she said to find "what moves you" and that will be your calling. So I started thinking about that and of course, several things came up...singing, writing, performing in theater, singing spiritual songs but none of those things were really it. Then I went a little deeper and "people's stories" came up and I said thats it!!! And the things I am gifted at are just extensions of what really moves me.  And that is where I got the idea.  If people are courageous enough to share their stories in an atmosphere that is artistic, it brings togetherness, tears down the walls of judgment, and gives others hope that "they" can overcome difficulties as well. HEALING THROUGH THE ARTS IS A POWERFUL THING!

Why am doing this? Our artistic community has suffered greatly since the pandemic and while we as artists are always expected to bring joy, life, and happiness to others through our art, we desperately need it as well. I feel it's my calling personally to do this work for our community .
