This is Ali and we are new best buddies! Ali was given the challenge of seeking a community member mentor to complete an eighth grade showcase project that she got to choose... and she chose making a dress and luckily she chose me as her mentor! It was random and also divine intervention!
I of course raced over to see her at her showcase and made it just in time to give her a hug and meet the whole fam, she even made me this super cool Rebel Threads themed bracelet 😭🥰
I couldn't be more proud of her for picking a really bold first project and totally killing it! Seriously, incredibly impressed with how much she soaked up in 3 sessions! Posted with permission from her and her parents! Thanks so much for trusting me throughout this process!
This is the community finding me and me being in community with youth so I can help inspire and teach young artists, it's what it's literally all about! 🤘🖤🤘
