Reading With Local Stars Community Event / by Jackie Sanders

Another first on my creative journey and I absolutely loved it! Hunter Elementary School in Raleigh, NC approached me as part of their “Reading With Local Stars Community Event” and of course I jumped at the opportunity to connect with these talented little artists!

I tend to make decisions based on what 10 year old Jackie would want me to do...and I think she would be pretty proud of this moment!

I read them “ Maybe Something Beautiful” by F. Isabel Campoy, an awesome children’s book about a little girl who transforms her city through color and the infectious energy of creating art!

Videos of me reading the story and my thoughts right after this amazing experience are linked below. It certainly was a memorable moment and one that left me fired up! to transform the world together through color, inspiration, community and the arts!

Do you have an event that is looking for a local emerging artist to speak at or participate in? Let me know! Fill out my contact form and let’s get your project on my calendar. As an emerging artist I am always looking for ways to give back to the community and celebrate the creative minds of fellow artists.
