Don’t you just love it when you meet someone and you instantly click? That’s how I felt when I met artist and author, Justin Garcia, only a few days ago. By the time our brief encounter ended, I knew I wanted him to be a guest on Our Voices Matter; that his voice is an important one to add to our ongoing conversation about connection and humanity.
I’ve always believed that art, in all its forms, has the power to bring us together in ways that nothing else can. Its transcendent nature speaks to the core of who we are as humans. In Justin’s words, “the artist is there to translate something deeper about ourselves and how it connects to humanity.” Amen. Let the conversation begin and feed your soul as it fed mine.
