TODAY I AM LOVED

ART,ADVOCACY, AND IDENTITY.

WHAT IS @TODAYIAMLOVED?

Today I Am Loved is one of my passion projects, created in my first year of university. I had noticed that along with myself, my peers were feeling homesick as we started our academic journeys in New York City. I set up a chain message service where I would send a daily encouragement/reminder to a few of my friends to lift their spirits. Word spread quickly and the within a couple weeks I went from 5 of my friends, to over 1,000 subscribers. It grew so quickly that I was kicked off of the messaging service! Anxious and trying to brain-storm, I sold my old electronics and bought myself an iPad so I could teach myself to draw and take this mission to a new platform.

Since then, I have been an artist in residency with #HALFTHESTORY, worked with the company BEARABY, and become a Youth and Young Adult Ambassador for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). I am constantly learning and growing in this adventure. I also am a designer for SELFCAREISFOREVERYONE where one of their bestsellers is a sweatshirt with my affirmations design!

Growing up, I always made it a priority to make people feel seen and included. That is part of the reason I went into theatre in the first place. Art is just a wonderful outlet for me to express and connect with others.
