"It is time for everyone to take a step towards making a difference. Start in your comfort zone. Engagement leads to empathy which leads to connection. Connecting and engaging leads to growing and evolving. It will be uncomfortable. Do it anyway."

HER Mission

My overall mission is to bring an awareness and celebration of the shared values and unique creativity in each of these cultures that equals and enhances what we value in our creativity and culture. They may need our assistance, especially the women and children, but they are not less than. They have so much to admire and share. Some of the most magnificent and exciting examples of creativity are multicultural blends. The strength, power, dignity and determination to survive and thrive needs to be illustrated and celebrated.
