We had found each other and we were both really frustrated with trying to get our artwork out and also make change in the community.
And we wanted to affect people through our art on a major level.
The I Will Foundation Mural-It's an inspirational mural that showcases the history of American culture, especially from the point of view of African American iconic figures.
The I Will Mentorship Foundation is a transformational organization that's changing lives through STEM, environmental science and technology and mathematics.
We want to build students self-esteem and self-awareness, but they must also understand where they came from and what they're about so they can know what they can do and their possibilities of the future.
We have a lot of important figures in justice, in science, in medicine, in poetry, in arts.
So you walk along this wall and you go throughout the history of America through the eyes of a minority.
We chose Artsemble because they matched our mantra of Let's educate, let's expand our bounds, and let's just be excited about learning-that's what engineering, that's what innovation is about.
It focuses on creating a platform for all of us to come together and to speak and to create.
What I love is when someone from the community says, I see myself on that wall, and that's what it's really about when you can get that reaction out of the community.
