Description

An evening of healing and unity through art, food, and conversation to raise funds for Sowing Our Unity Love Justice And Spirituality Join Sowing Our Unity Love Justice And Spirituality Souljas Progression and The Arts Fund SB on December 18th, 2021 for an evening of art, music, food, and opportunities for collective healing featuring art from local artist, Talia Tashma-Rapp who has survived a traumatic brain injury and solitary confinement and still wakes up every day on purpose with her service dog, Gaia. Every day Talia is standing on top of that trauma and pushes past mental health and depression so instead of her pain speaking for her, she finds calm in her paintings. This is her art. This is her love. This is Talia, Santa Barbara. Don't walk past her. Come to support Talia as we look to keep her out and express her art instead of in depression in isolation. With your support, we will adorn her walks with her artwork for all of Santa Barbara to see her past her trauma. This winter Souljas Progression is fundraising for our Wheels On Purpose Truck and Kangen Water Filter, which will be used for the various community programs that serve the formerly incarcerated, those who are unhoused, and adults and children living in low-income and underserved communities. The Wheels on Purpose Truck and Kangen Water Filter will be used in the following ways that promote restorative justice: Trash Disposal & Chronic Waste Removal.
