incredible and so relatable as a dominican artist

such much good advice! And such a quick read leaves you wanting more! As a artist that has faced a lot of ups in down in the art system— this book gives me faith that there is still room to tell my story regardless of the elites that want to silence me. Thank you Kimberly! Jehdy Vargas
