My artists are from a very underserved population here in the heart of inner city Atlanta. They face many challenges every day, but work hard to beat the odds and overcome their circumstances. I am honored to be a part of their lives and make a difference in any small way that I can. The projects here will be used with that end in mind. Although they face disadvantages in other areas of their lives, when they come to my class I want them to have the best possible resources and opportunities. I want to level the playing field a little for them, and provide them with the best educational experiences possible. Thank you for taking the time to read a little about our class!
