Ethiopia:

In 2016, I embarked on a memorable journey to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to document a special event. My friends Yok and Sheryo, a dynamic street art duo, were set to paint murals and teach art lessons at The School of St. Yared, a school dedicated to underprivileged children in Ethiopia. The creativity and enthusiasm of the kids there were truly remarkable. After completing the murals at the school, we partnered with Ethiopia Skate to paint at a newly constructed skate park, providing much-needed skate shoes and skateboard decks to support the local skateboarding community. This multifaceted endeavor beautifully illustrated the potent intersection of art, education, community, and empowerment.
