"In a capitalist economy that has us fight and hurt one another; I cease to create structures of hierarchy in art making spaces. Through collaboration and critical thinking as core values, we can all earn, challenge, listen, care, and have fun through the process of a multidisciplinary art making. I believe in young artists as innovators for change and radical imaginations through their own area of art interests and storytelling. I am here to support, encourage, and collaborate with young artists for the resistance, liberation, and joy for the future."

They believe in collaboration and critical thinking as core values when learning, challenging, listening, caring, and having fun through the process of a multidisciplinary art making.
