BRONX BOUND BOOKS
Working with Latanya Devaughn, the founder of the coolest bookstore on wheels in the Bronx has been an amazing experience! During Woodlawn Family Fun Day we created one page zines with kids and teens, and hosted a children's book reading circle.

QUARANTINE VIRTUAL WORKSHOPS
The pandemic gave rise to lots of virtual events and a new love-hate relationship for video collaboration systems. There was something entrancing about being close enough to see each others pores and far enough to not feel their breath...
I partnered up with Garner Arts Center and hosted multiple virtual workshop series using everyday items and unconventional art materials.
Paint Parties
In the Summer of 2019 I brought my entire family together and had my first 'paint nite' event. It was so exciting! Since then, I've hosted events for multiple groups, including the New York International Ballet Institute and Birch Family Services, and hosted paint parties both in person and virtually.
