Growing up in Minneapolis as a teenager in the 1980s, I was heavily influenced and inspired by Prince and his music. I spent many days of my teenage years painting, drawing and writing poetry inspired by Prince. My art is still nurtured by the creative energy of artists and activists that live in this city and around the world who work to create a beautiful community for everyone. I believe that we must celebrate Prince's legacy by supporting our artistic communities and investing in our youth, so they can live fully and pursue their dreams.
