I've partnered with AVDA (Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse) to create a special map with significant meaning to me to spread hope through my story. December marked my 10th anniversary of moving to Houston. I escaped an abusive relationship while I was in college in Ohio.
Hear about my passion behind maps and how I got to where I am today. It's been a wild ride full of twists and turns but it has all happened for a reason and I could not be more grateful!
kimmie created her first political piece about police brutality in Houston using her artistic talent to speak out about Black Lives Matter. The names on this piece are of black people in Houston killed by police. Learn about the process of creating the art and plans for auctioning and donating proceeds.
I had been feeling really down about my online business success. As an artist it is really not easy to be found in a general search but I had done everything in my power to optimize my site and images. I was beginning to believe the only way I could sell was through outdoor markets but during Covid-19 those are not really happening. One night I received a notification from Shopify that someone had placed an order and I couldn't even believe my eyes. I captured my raw thoughts and feelings on camera, sorry for the terrible lighting - one of these days I am going to get a ring light.
