"What I love about writing in this form [the blog] is that I can curate conversations and showcase the great work of many deserving but overlooked artists anytime I want. And I don’t have to wait for anyone’s permission or approval. What’s challenging, however, is that not everyone has time to have these conversations and some don’t feel comfortable expressing their ideas in the written word. Ultimately, my blog has allowed me to share my voice and be an advocate." -- Jacqueline E. Lawton
