She shares how creativity often transcends spoken language—allowing people to express themselves, connect with others, and build a sense of belonging in their communities.

Whether you’re passionate about community impact, curious about the deeper role of the arts, or dreaming of starting your own arts center, this conversation is full of wisdom, heart, and practical advice. Don’t miss her actionable tips for turning a creative vision into a welcoming, inclusive space for all.
