"When the room breaks out into laughter hearts and minds are primed for learning."
-Althea Jones
Creating community within organizations, corporations and institutions is essential to creating and maintaining cultures that serve the mission and the member.
​
My interactive presentations use art to create connection and community among participants. Acting a facilitator and participant, I engage participants in uplifting and joyful conversation that create and reinforce feelings of community and belonging.
Using universal themes like superpowers and grandmothers, I am able to work with participants in various age groups (8+ yrs) and backgrounds with positive results. ​​
​
Current Presentations Include:
-
​Tell Me About Your Grandmother- Through art and poetry, participants are encouraged to reflect on the love and affection of their grandmother or similar relation.
-
My Skin Color is My Superpower- Participants are lead on a journey of self-discovery and reflection topped off by a color theory demonstration.
-
Superpower Self-Portraits- Participants create collage style "self-portraits" inspired by a lively conversation around superpowers and skin color
