“You can’t sit around and wait for somebody to say who you are. You need to write it and paint it and do it.”

Huge thank you to @allpeoplearts for giving the opportunity to teach and mentor high school students through the Summer Mural @artsway_cbus program for a second time for the 2026. I got to work with some extraordinary artists, such as @sir_ra_ @jaylenfultz @peppermint_raygun @hakimsartnstuff @sugarrayairbrush @creativeshel10 @by_sydneerae @mrshortscreates & @fdzgraffiti just to name a few. You can’t be great by yourself! 💪🏽

To see the kids concepts turned into pieces, I wish it was programs like this growing up! Especially because they were also compensated teaching them to be paid for their talents. Watching these young artists step into their creativity and turn blank walls into stories was powerful. To show and teach our craft is a different type of alchemy.

Much love to @maroonartsgroup & @franklintonart for facilitating this program and helping bring public art to life in our community. 🙏🏾 You’ve created a space where the next generation can see themselves as creators, visionaries, and changemakers.

To my students and y’all showed up with talent, passion, and heART. Keep painting, keep dreaming, keep making your mark. This is just the beginning.
💪🏽🖤
