Winning Business of the Year is a full-circle moment. I was once that kid homeless, relying on the Salvation Army, receiving my first art set as an angel on a tree. Now, that same community honors me for my art. Art was my escape, and I know it’s an escape for so many creatives. While I’m the creative mind, my team helps bring these visions to life. Us creatives are often called a luxury whether we paint, film, write, photograph, or design but the truth is, we’re essential. We move hearts, spark change, and give meaning. People can take away things, but not your creativity. You are a vessel. This win is proof: we’re not just here; we’re vital. Don’t let anyone diminish that. The struggle is your canvas; your passion, the brush. Follow it, and watch everything align. From a donated art set to this moment this win is for all of us. Keep creating.
The world doesn’t just want your art it needs it.
