White House SXSL Favorite Moments: Had a chance to share my story about working for Smith Center for Healing and the Arts (@SmithCenterDC) artist-in-residence and the inspiration behind my work at Howard University Hospital (2003-2009) and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (2010-present) with Starkbucks (@starbucks) Upstanders program. PS: I am wearing my "Karma: Aham Prema" scarf from my VIDA Voices collection in the video. Go hereto learn more ($40 each scarf): http://shopvida.com/collections/voices/ananda-leeke. The scarf features my painting and celebrates a woman's self-love journey. The painting appears on the cover of my debut novel, "Love's Troubadours" (Amazon). While I was working as a Smith Center artist at Howard University Hospital, a patient taughr me how to paint and guided me through the creative process for my painting. #upstanders #sxsl #shopvida #shopvidaAL #vida #scarf #scarves #creativity #smithcenterdc #smithcenterhealingandthearts (at White House, Washington D.C.)
