Spreading Awareness through Art
Crystal is also passionate about art. Crystal showcases and sells handmade bracelets at Proof Alliance’s Second Saturdays, a monthly youth support group. The idea for Crystal’s jewelry business was sparked when a peer asked Crystal if they could purchase one of the handmade bracelets Crystal was wearing.
Crystal says, “I want to inspire people with love and peace because there’s a lot of hate in the world.” Drawing inspiration from her life experiences and the challenges she’s overcome, Crystal’s artwork is a reflection of her journey.
