Art for a Cause

I believe that art and work without a cause are meaningless. Theatre should be a platform for representing diverse voices, and advocating for inclusion must be at its forefront. Phamaly exemplifies the kind of work I aspire to be part of, using theatre to uplift underrepresented communities. Musana inspires me in a different but equally powerful way—its commitment to sustainability not only preserves the environment but also ensures that voices and stories continue to thrive for generations to come.

Phamaly Theatre Co.

(Physically Handicapped Amateur Musical Actors League)

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Phamaly Theatre while attending the Community College of Aurora. I deeply admire their mission to provide a creative home for theatre artists with disabilities, model an inclusive theatrical process, and challenge conventional narratives by transforming individuals, audiences, and the world. Phamaly Theatre Company strives to create a world in which disability and the differences within the human condition are celebrated, and the theatre experience is accessible and welcoming to all.

Musana

A company that I am really passionate about is Musana, with their sustainable practices and faith-based work. While studying management at MSU, I had the opportunity to advocate for their mission during Denver Good Business Week, supporting their efforts to break cycles of dependency and uplift communities through locally-owned social enterprises. Musana’s self-sustaining businesses generate profits that fund essential programs like healthcare and education, creating jobs and fostering long-term growth in the communities they serve.
