The Power of Art to Transform Lives

MoMA PS1 wasn’t the last stop for these incredible artists!

In today's episode I'm joined by affiliates of Fortune Society: Marvin Wade, Mic Ruiz, Becky Dunham, Jamie Maleszka. We discuss the arts programming at Fortune and the transformative role that the arts plays not only in the process of re-entry but also with respect to mental health. And get this, we'll talk about these artists work with MoMA PS1 titled "We Choose to Bloom" which was done in collaboration with Fortune! To stay connected with these artist you can follow Mic and Marvin on Instagram and check out more of Becky's work here!

In today's episode, Jamie makes mention of a few other organizations besides Fortune and a few other resources that I thought you all may want to look more into. There's Raise the Age and Legal Aid Society. She also mentions Freedom Agenda and if you haven't already be sure to go back to episode 2 if you missed my conversation with Darren Mack of Freedom Agenda. The final organization that I want to leave you guys with is Impact Services - an organization that provides help to Veterans suffering from homelessness.
