Some of the most magical lessons are shared through stories, experiences and the people who have walked the path before us. ✨Ahead of Magical Marble Family Fest, the students of @nsaartschool spent time with @micasamusic , hearing firsthand about creativity, passion, perseverance and what it means to build a career doing what you love.Through our Fuel More Magic legacy initiative, we’re proud to create opportunities that inspire the next generation of artists, dreamers and storytellers to keep believing in their craft and the magic they can bring to the world. 💚 by @nsaartschool
