“When
I see brokenness, poverty and crime in inner cities,
I also see the enormous potential and readiness for
transformation and rebirth. We are creating an art
form that comes from the heart and reflects the pain
and sorrow of people's lives. It also expresses joy,
beauty, and love. This process lays the foundation
of building a genuine community in which people are
reconnected with their families, sustained by meaningful
work, nurtured by the care of each other and will
together raise and educate their children. Then we
witness social change in action.”
-- Lily
