In my daily battle to make ends meet, my sense of joy and creative passion were drifting away. As a young man moving out to South Africa to find a more curious and open space for my art, I felt I had to carry the weight of my challenges alone. While trying to make a living through odd jobs, I quickly felt the structural layers of racism and discrimination. It felt like society was constructed to chip away at your dignity piece by piece while you get lost in the hamster wheel, trying to survive.

When my hope and spirit were growing ever more distant, I got unexpected help. My manager saw my artistic skills by chance and connected me with an art-enthusiastic friend. This opened the door to more support, and I realized that I needed to welcome help from others in a different way. Learn how this helped me reconnect fully with my artistic passion and release some of my suppressed emotions when combined with opening up emotionally to my closest. New art assignments started coming in, and I could finally establish myself as an artist and build my career.
