What does community mean to you?  
For me, community means support.  Everyone needs a community of people who share similar interest, a community that they can both build and depend on.  Building community is something that is ingrained in all of my artwork.  I am constantly looking for opportunities to connect with others and grow my community. 

Why are you interested in PAR-Education or community education in general?  
Community education is crucial to growing any community.  It gives a community the ability to grow and create together.  Co-creation is a powerful tool in getting to know the community you are part of. 

What do you work toward in your free time?
I write in my free time.  I am currently working towards shooting a pilot for a TV show I am creating. 

If you were a brand, what would be your motto?  
"We're all going to die anyway..."

What would you do in the event of a zombie apocalypse?
I would watch as many episodes of the Walking Dead as possible to learn how to fight the zombies!

#Fun Fact:
Kailah was the first black homecoming Queen at Wright State University.

Because of the latter, our goals have simply been to keep our head down, keep working, and be the best we can be. The cool thing is we've never changed our mission and we've always held ourselves to the highest of standards — press or no press. We too have BIG things to accomplish...
