A Note from Fran

“Never be afraid to critically think, challenge yourself, share your ideas, and speak your mind. Be innovative, inventive, and unique. Question everything! The best way to truly learn is by collecting the gifts of knowledge and experience from others. Listen to different perspectives, ideologies, and beliefs and give those ideas space in your mind even if you do not agree. Do not be afraid to have dynamic thought processes, contribute to dialogue, and foster unity. Our universe, our world is full of past and present stories spoken and unspoken; do not hesitate to share yours.”

A Note from Nicole

One of the philosophies that guides my work and the way I interact with the world is truly knowing that life is valuable. Never underestimate your own ability to make a positive impact on the lives of others and to endlessly pursue your own joy and growth. Find inspiration in the small aspects of life and spread kindness wherever you go. Do not be afraid to take risks because they will be invaluable in paving new experiences. Lastly, never be afraid to ask questions, have deep thought-provoking conversations and believe in the power of your own unique gifts and talents.”
