Ms. Washington we cannot begin to thank you enough for your profound presentation at our "Spread Love At The MoMA" Painting workshop in support of Anti-Bullying awareness. It was a success and we owe it all to you. Your gentle approach and kindness encouraged our young artist to feel comfortable and express themselves. Most importantly you allowed them to feel seen and heard. They learned valuable information and tools they will never forget and pass on to others. Thank you for leaving such an impactful long-lasting impression in the lives of our young artist. You are a motivating force Ms. T.
