DONATED ARTWORK AND VOLUNTEERED FOR CONSCIOUS ALLIANCE
I volunteered my time and donated multiple original artworks for Conscious Alliance Charity Auction Events. A specific one during my college years, portraits I had done were able to contribute funds to Native American pipeline protestors, their medical bills, legal needs, etc.

Graphic Design For A Cause

IT COMES FROM THE HEART
I am always interested in directing my talents and shared interests to collaborate for good causes. I have co-organized, designed, and raised money for 3 northern Virginia animal rescues, as well, co-hosting an adoption event while at Custom Ink. We used apparel sales with my design (shown above) to contribute additional donations from across our company and I still have my sweatshirt.

Queen Miller Home
William A. and Queen Elizabeth Miller, an African American couple, operated an orphanage for Black children on land they purchased here. Incorporated in 1910 and later named the Hayes Memorial Industrial School and Orphan’s Home, it was popularly known as the Queen Miller Home. The Millers nurtured and educated hundreds of children from across Virginia and beyond for more than 40 years. Queen Miller, a certified teacher with seminary training, lectured widely to raise funds, which were supplemented by sales of surplus produce from the orphanage’s farm. The Queen Miller Home, which earned a statewide reputation as a refuge for the homeless, survived a fire in 1927 but burned down in 1955.
