I am art. Art is being vulnerable which brings people together. Art is my therapy because i struggle with long term drug induced psychosis.

Where do you find inspiration?i lost everything to my drug use. When I got clean I would do outreach handing out clothing and hygiene to houseless. I met a man that sold his art at his camp on the side of the street that moved me. I had so much anxiety and trauma so i started doing art as a way to express myself without talking.
What would you do with $25,000?I started a small grassroots non-profit in 2021 to help people struggling. We have delivered over 243,000 lb of food to people in need over the past 3 years. We are all volunteer ran and rely on donations. I would give all of the money to our nonprofit mudblosmconnections.org to continue giving back.
