Art of Me educates students and adults on social norms that are preventing the progression of our societies. We value sharing stories and creating works of art to transcend these conversations beyond the classrooms and onto a global platform to catalyze change.
How do we do it?
Working in collaboration with schools, communities and employers to challenge social norms and build relationships.

In the largest SEL study ever done, school-based programs improved student-school bonding, reduced delinquency and aggression, and decrease anxiety and stress. ~Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL)
Kindergarteners with stronger social and emotional skills are more likely to graduate from high school and college and have stable, full-time employment while being less likely to commit crimes, and have drug , and alcohol problems.
Media Literacy education has been proven a highly effective tool in addressing a variety of public health problems faced by young people.
A comprehensive research report identified the five critical skills most likely to increase success in the workforce: social, skills, communication skills, problem solving, critical thinking and decision making (problem solving skills), self-control and self-concept. These are taught in SEL curricula.

“#Unfiltered stories are the threads that bring us all together."
~Steph Wahome-Lassiter
The Unstoppable is a short story written by Julianna Greenridge. It follows an eccentric teen, Lottie who is struggling with anxiety and depression. It pushes her to the very edge, to the point where she feels she has no choices.
All forms of local and global media will equally value everyone's story instead of only the "single story".
