Art Inspired Healing Collective is a group of artists creating programs for students to teach them how to use art to learn more about themselves.
At 12 years old, the South Dallas native was inspired by the poem “Cotton Candy on a Rainy Day” by Nikki Giovanni and the lyricism of his favorite rappers, so he decided to give it a try.
The collective has partnered with the Dallas Public Library, cultural centers and numerous school districts to bring arts education and workshops to students from third grade onward. She wants them to be able to ask, “If I’m out in the streets and I’m feeling this way, how do I regulate myself in this situation? What works best for me?” she said.“Think about where you feel the safest, safest space you feel, and why that place makes you feel so safe. That’s the norm we want to create in the room,” Shakur said. “When we build a workshop, we think about creating the safest space for every kid to truly be themselves.
He even told a teacher once that he didn’t know about Shakespeare, but Prince from Minneapolis is the real poet.
