Local Community Partner: Healing Transitions
Starting in 2024 a portion of all J Sanders Studio Sales and Projects are donated to Healing Transitions!
As a firm believer that recovery can’t wait, my partnership with Healing Transitions began with their 2021 Art of Recovery Event and continued when I served as the Chairwoman for this event in 2022.
Healing Transitions (Raleigh, NC), is a nonprofit, recovery and rehabilitation facility for homeless people with alcohol and drug dependency. They believe that all people struggling with addiction (especially the homeless, uninsured and underserved) deserve services on demand – as many times as it takes – to find recovery. They never turn away anyone who’s seeking help.
When individuals make the brave choice to seek recovery, Healing Transitions provides the space, resources, and community support they need…
ALWAYS OPEN - On-demand recovery services
ALWAYS FREE - No financial barriers
ALWAYS EVERYONE - Homeless, uninsured and underserved
ALWAYS ANOTHER CHANCE - As many times as it takes
ALWAYS COMMUNITY - Peer-to-peer model
Since 2001, they have provided life-saving services to individuals in need at no cost to them…

As a graduate of the the Launch Raleigh Fall class of 2022 the education, mentorship, resources and community established through this program serve as the foundation for my business today.
Our Stories: Brave Conversations on Race
Our Stories was created in 2021 as a way to facilitate productive and informative conversations about race in our society. Rooted in community, these brave conversations encourage participants to share their first-hand stories and experiences with one another. Resources are provided to help participants better able to explain to others how they feel about race, racism and social justice.
I participated in the Our Stories series in the Spring of 2022 and look forward to serving as a facilitator for future programs!
