One the goals for the Spoken Soul Festival is to support women artists making a difference in the community. Niki Lopez is no stranger to us. She's a Visual Artist, Designer and mom who was one of the sponsors for 2013 Spoken Soul Festival.

Niki has produced a month-long art exhibit “Parallels” at the 1310 Gallery, which combines art, performance, & community outreach. Parallels' community partner is the FLITE Center - a center for foster care teens that prepares them to live successful lives after leaving foster care.

On Thursday, August 1, Niki joins Alana DaCosta in hosting Parallels Youth Community Outreach Day. The teens will have a gallery tour, and paticipate in an I AM creative workshop, taking the first step to being the source of their own destiny.

Niki has been the primary funder for this workshop, and knows that she can reach and help more students with a bit of our support. We ask that you open your hearts, click the link and see how you can contribute to this worthy cause. With multiple reward levels, even the smallest donation brings Lopez one step closer.

Your contributions will help give these teens the opportunity to not only be explore art, but a day focused on their creative self expression. Thanks in advance, DIOSAS!
