In collaboration with NBC’s 'George to the Rescue,' I had the incredible opportunity to create a vibrant mural for the Boys & Girls Club in Newark, NJ. This project allowed me to use art as a tool for transformation, bringing color, inspiration, and a sense of pride to a space where young people gather to grow and learn. The mural, designed with themes of empowerment and community, stands as a reminder of the impact art can have on building positive, supportive environments. Watch the episode here.

Through bold colors and impactful imagery, this mural became a space for reflection, solidarity, and dialogue within the city. Watch the full clip here.
