Being a Company Member has given me a laboratory to explore my artistic, philosophical and educational passions while contributing to a community that I care deeply about. This work fills my life with so much beauty and meaning that I am consistently compelled to give back with everything I have.
— Aisha Delilah, Former Company Manager
