I am the founder and manager of Cleveland's art festival, Creation: A Celebration of Art, Music, and Life. Founded out of a desire to increase connections between art disciplines and "scenes" while acknowledging Cleveland's historical redlining that we still see the effects of today. Our most significant idea is that: when society provides protection for its most marginalized people, everybody is safer and happier as a result. Understanding the experiences of others strengthens our collective humanity, and that's what Creation was formed to do. We bring in guest speakers from non-profits and organizations to share information and resources with our attendees, such as housing vouchers for Black and trans people, free access to healthcare, and assistance obtaining social services. I am available for consultation and collaboration!
