Soowan An - Fabian Debora - Week 11

1. Fabian’s story telling. Something I thoroughly enjoyed about Fabian was the way he told his story. Something about the way he told his story, maybe the tone or his dialect or maybe the way he spoke conversations between him and the people he encountered throughout his journey, kept me engaged at all times. There was not a single moment during our class where my attention strayed and I genuinely enjoyed his time spent with the class
2. Fabian’s openness. He was very real with the class and his past. I did not expect him to tell us about some of the dark times in his life. I can only imagine that admitting faults he has done in his past is never light hearted and easy especially to a group of strangers so I am very grateful he shared some of his vulnerable moments and experiences with us. 
3. His impact. I admire Fabian’s utilization of art and helping those who need a form of expression or temporary escape through art. I knew that art could be a powerful entity for a plethora of purposes but hearing how not only he used art to help himself but also helped families in his community and those who have been incarcerated through the power of art was really nice to hear/see because the impact of art is not something I often experience.
