Title: The Working Artists' Dinner Table


The Working Artists’ Dinner Table poem celebrates art as an essential, life-giving force that nourishes both body and spirit, blending everyday experiences with ancestral memory and creative expression. It portrays creativity as a sacred, communal act, one that connects us across generations, sustains us through hardship, and affirms our humanity. Ultimately, the poem reveres art as a primal, vital part of existence, equating it with breath, food, family, and faith.

Creative Experience 

I enjoy helping others build their careers and confidence through self-expression and achieving their goals. Working within the nonprofit sector has provided me with enriching experiences and strengthened my ability to creatively solve problems. It has taught me the value of building strong relationships with people in and outside of my field.
