Back in 2015, I drew Bryan at Community CARES. So proud of you, Bryan! Congratulations!
Fast forward 11 years, and he’s now the owner of B & L Dogz! 🙌
There was a time I didn’t have a penny to my name… not even a place to call home.
Just a whole lot of ambition and a dream.
One day, this artist walked into Carlisle Cares — now Community Cares. She took time out of her day to practice her craft and asked me, “Do you have a second so I can draw you?”
I said, “Sure.”
What she probably didn’t realize is that she gave me more than a sketch that day. She gave me a moment of dignity. A moment of being seen.
And the lesson I learned?
You will never forget how people made you feel.
Don’t let that go over your head.
Stay kind. Stay human. Stay aware. 💯
