Kelly has worked in human services for most of my career, devoting my time to improving social conditions for people of color.  During my free time, I started creating art pieces that led to me starting Mindful Soulhettes. She now uses silhouettes and words to create individual dimensional pieces - the words are inspirational, purposeful, and reflect the POWER we all have within us, basically “Reflections of Self.”
