Back in 2015, I drew Bryan at Community CARES. So proud of you, Bryan! Congratulations!
Fast forward 11 years, and heโs now the owner of B & L Dogz! ๐
There was a time I didnโt have a penny to my nameโฆ not even a place to call home.
Just a whole lot of ambition and a dream.
One day, this artist walked into Carlisle Cares โ now Community Cares. She took time out of her day to practice her craft and asked me, โDo you have a second so I can draw you?โ
I said, โSure.โ
What she probably didnโt realize is that she gave me more than a sketch that day. She gave me a moment of dignity. A moment of being seen.
And the lesson I learned?
You will never forget how people made you feel.
Donโt let that go over your head.
Stay kind. Stay human. Stay aware. ๐ฏ
