Hi Kathleen, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.
The most meaningful project worked on has to be Getting my name more known and as especially as a Designer and having it finally paying off and being seen so the whole world could know the importance of being humble and patiently waiting on that One opportunity to happen with God’s Grace accomplishing what he has in store and has already written that special path given just for me. The circumstances of Sleepless nights 24hrs getting no sleep making sure every t’s are crossed still having to witness setbacks like being figured in time Square on a Billboard is a dream and to to have it planned and scheduled one year to nothing til now experience a comeback with not one figure but even more doors opening one by one. This goes with what I stand by and Offer the opportunity to help build self love, self esteem, self confidence, self worth, and growth developing a solid platform for the people and especially children looking to enhance their life and careers.
Encouragement, motivation, creativity, and most importantly self-expressions.
Establish meaningful relationship and understanding with children young or older a continuous support system throughout their journey
We want to Contribute to and inspire the community of TRASE our youth of today.
