We are having a great time and inspiring conversation about the community. The mural will be installed in Tim Park/Brybeck Crescent in Kitchener. Thanks to Afro for being a great partner in this project and

One of my beloved projects from the past few years has been an extraordinary partnership with the Grief Mural, part of the The Resilience Project . A few years ago, I was invited to collaborate with Hummingbird Center for Hope to create a mural that captures grief from a multicultural youth perspective.

Marny and I designed a sensitive and beautiful workshop where we asked participants how they had experienced grief. They were incredibly generous in sharing their stories. Using that input, I designed a mural that the group and volunteers helped us paint. The conversations around understanding and surviving loss and trauma deeply nourished my soul and imagination.

A few days ago, we unveiled four murals we’ve created over the years in collaboration with four different agencies. I'm happy to share this journey with you, and I offer a heartfelt thank you to the Resilient Project and FACS Family and children Services of Waterloo Region for opening up this creative dialogue and having the vision to help build a visual grief tool for the community., and WRCF Waterloo Region Community Foundation for the financial support. Share if you can!

Thank you for joining us!!! A perfect night.
