Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "Just like how Miriam Makeba advocated for equality through singing and actively organizing civil movements, as an artist, I decided to use my art skills to share my perspectives and improve our community. I am currently planning to hold an art exhibition at my local city hall with my peers to display our artworks and share our visions with the people in the community."
