We have added Chris SIngleton's children's book to our reading list. As response to the murder of his mother, Chris is continuing his mother's legacy of love. Lets continue to teach love and kindness to our neighbors.

Black Lives Matter

Heal with Hearts stands for racial equality. We are committed to listening and learning from Black Lives Matter campaign and social justice leaders to help guide us and our government in the horrific injustices and violence that black people face everyday.

Heal with Hearts is committed to strengthening our community through the Arts, caring for our community and helping the underserved students and families in Charleston.

Our main focus is providing educational outreach to those students who do not have the opportunity to participate in an art, dance or music class. We do not tolerate hateful actions and behaviors towards others.

We will continue to be proactive in supporting the victims of hate crimes and police brutality ending systematic racism. We want to help teach our children with purpose to learn from diversity among our community, provide more emotional support for those experiencing racial trauma. We must teach peace, practice peaceful ways and value life. Black Lives Matter.

Artist Spotlight : Aime` Mpane

Maman Calcule created by Aime` Mpane.The work was completed in 2013. The artist used small pieces of would attached together to create this mural. With the lighting , the mural cast a shadow on the wall behind the work. It was so beautifully crafted and displayed. The picture of the artwork did not capture the magnitude of this artist's talent.

Art work above,:

Before the virus hit the US, I was in Washington DC visiting the Phillips Collection Museum. I was blown away by this artwork by Aime Mpane from Congo. I began taking pictures without a flash, to capture its beautiful display and craftsmanship. The artist was amazing! The lighting that hit his wooden tapestry created shadows adding another artwork on the wall behind the displayed work. Each little piece of wood behind the child was carved and woven together before the mural was painted. I am including the information and link to this artist work. Art and music moves our heart and soul. I'm so grateful I was able to be in the same room as this artist's work. Look hIm up , share with your kids, take a virtual tour of Phillips Collection or any of the amazing art museums that we are able to experience virtually.
