Mental Health Awareness, Advocating for Artistic Expression,

Major: Entrepreneurship

Project: Advocating for Mental Health Awareness and providing outlets for self-expression.

Inspiration: I want to emphasize the importance of self-expression and individuality. The more one accepts and appreciates oneself and is aligned with how one wants to express oneself, the better one’s mental health and well-being are. The more we think and act this way, the more we prosper as a society and individuals.  A healthy outlet to do so is through art. The core sense of self and art are closely related. Art helps us all. It is very beneficial for us as it is a form of expression that fosters our natural need for self-expression and fulfillment to communicate feelings and sentiments towards anything. The world becomes a better and happier place to live in via the power of art. Art is all around us and open for interpretation, leaving a big void to fill, and allowing us all to get involved.

Future Plans: Looking ahead, I aspire to be a guiding light for upcoming artists in Denver, championing individuality. I have a wealth of creativity to share with the world, but more importantly, along the way, I want to empower others to express themselves, particularly in my community.
