BOLD JOURNEY MAGAZINE

“The last time I felt pure joy was just before Christmas last year in Lamu, Kenya. I was there with my cousins on behalf of my nonprofit Big Sky Countries, donating a mural to the Anidan Children’s Shelter. It was our final day painting a large community piece and we pushed to finish so we could make it to the beach in time for the children’s musical performance. The sun warmed our skin and the air smelled like the spiced coffee we sipped from a small beach-hut vendor, while the children and teens played brass instruments, singing, and dancing with everything they had.”
