Act of Kindness

 

Quote found on the Internet 



“It’s easy to overlook the struggles that others may be facing in their lives, as we often only see the surface of their experiences. Each person carries their own burdens, and these challenges can be invisible to those around them. This is why it becomes essential to approach others with a sense of empathy and kindness, recognizing that everyone has their own story and battles that may not be immediately apparent.


 Understanding that we cannot fully grasp the complexities of another person's situation is crucial. Life can be incredibly challenging, and many individuals are navigating difficulties that we might not even be aware of. By fostering an attitude of compassion and kindness, we create a supportive environment that encourages openness and connection, allowing people to feel seen and valued despite their struggles.


When we choose to respond with empathy, we not only uplift those around us but also contribute to a culture of understanding and support. A simple act of kindness can have a profound impact on someone who is silently enduring hardship. By being mindful of the unseen challenges others face, we can cultivate deeper relationships and create a more compassionate community where everyone feels understood and appreciated.”

My college experiences were diverse. I had the opportunity to exhibit my artwork in New York City in 1993 at  The New Harlem Gallery (New York City, New York) and Wisteria ArtSpace (New York City, New York). I was 16 years old at that time. Additionally, I participated in the Congressional Art Competition in 1993.   I was exposed to a diverse set of people with different backgrounds and sexual orientations from 1993 - 1997. I had the opportunity to met Ms. Lois Jones when I was a college student and exhibit my artwork in several exhibitions from 1996 - 1997. Among them include:  "Evolution of Historical Symbolisms." Corcoran Gallery of the Art, Hemicycle, Washington, DC. 1997; and  "All Senior Summer Show." Corcoran School of the Art, White Walls Gallery, Washington, DC. 1997-1996.
