Where do you find inspiration?The people, because life is short and we need to pay attention to everyone, because this is important, you never know, maybe that one smile you gave someone, cheered them up. Saying hi and acknowledging someone is so vital, because we never know when it's out time to go. Every breath is important.
What would you do with $25,000?I would open an art studio to feature works done specifically by homeless people. So much talent is not recognized because sometimes they're shy, they feel not seen, not acknowledged. Being homeless is the most humbling experience I've been through and I can still cry about the things I went through, the ugly injustices I've been through. Yet I made it, risen from the depths of that hell and now it's my time to shine; and give my colleagues a voice and a chance to speak and be seen
