I see a lot of people who have amazing stories but have been told that their work, their lives, and their stories and not the stuff of literature. Or they’re first-generation college student, first-generation American, and their family just doesn’t understand the art world. They have a lot of guilt. \”We came all the way from [wherever] so you could do this?\” Those people may not be showing the moxie, but that’s because they don’t even know what’s possible. So I want to jump in and say, \”Actually, your story is amazing, and I believe in you.\”.
