The journey to enlightenment starts in different places for everyone. Enlightenment is a big word but aptly describes what it is like to awaken to your purpose. This is what Breonna Rossi has been doing the past few months: awakening to a purpose bigger than herself. Namely, amplifying black and brown voices, using her art to benefit those who have been oppressed or otherwise less fortunate than she has been.   Breonna strongly supports blackballerinasforchange.com and the McAtee Community Kitchen. If you need inspiration today about being the change you want to see in the world then this episode is for you. Art is the Antidote to hate.
