“Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero to me.”

"Art is power. As artists we have tremendous terrifying power. Not just in our ability to vision and dream, most people can do that, that’s a human thing, but it is our willingness to wrestle with and birth that vision or dream into the waking world." ~Idris Goodwin

‘Sesame Street’ got an extra $100 million to continue helping refugee kids from Myanmar and Syria #WorldRefugeeDay

Dads & uncles & grandpas... anyone in a position to care for & guide younger bodies, hearts & minds... We thank you & marvel at you. We hope you know what a profound effect you have on the children of today & the grownups of tomorrow. Happy #fathersday, friends.
