Week 11: Fabian Debora

Blog Post: Reflect on 3 key takeaways in connection to arts and community engagement based on the work of our guest Fabian Debora. Post your reflections on our blog. 
First.- I really enjoyed his presentation and his use of storytelling. He's provided a safe space for incarcerated youth to tell their stories and finds a place of healing through finding similarities with other youth members.
second- He opens the space up to the family's of anyone who has had a history of being incarcerated, to do art together as a family, and shows us a bond that can be made over the process of re knitting broken threads in a family.
third- Fabian is happy to give local artists that have had a history with the system, a studio that he never had access to. Then opens it up to us artists to comment on and consume, then inspire! He also didn't just tell us he did it, he went through all of the steps it took to get there so we could see the challenges he went though to provide Homeboy Art Academy.

California is one of the leading states in the production and exporting of agriculture products due to our vast and wide scale of geological environments, but ...
