For 15 years, I’ve experienced Susan’s enthusiasm for providing Inner-City Arts’ students with their own safe space in which to flourish in the creative world. 10 years ago, we became proud parents of Asher and Allegra. I can't help but think that Susan’s years at Inner-City Arts, have contributed exponentially to their creative growth. The twins and I are grateful to be around someone like Susan who is thoughtfully engaged, and always eager to move the creative process forward.
