This residency offered me the opportunity to create and express in ways I would not have otherwise dreamt of. Through this highly collaborative environment, we built a community in which not only all ideas were uplifted and valued but all people as well. These relationships with those who started as my collaborators and have now become my dear friends will surely leave a lasting impact on my personal and creative trajectories.
