Everything’s bigger in Texas—including the heart 💛 Ellen Geis is graduating from Lesley this weekend, but her Capstone project took her home to Texas, where she created The Unsung Creatives Project—an arts-based workshop and gallery show exploring confidence, healing, and self-expression through community art. With roots in nine years of dreaming and three semesters of Lesley research, Ellen built and taught a curriculum that gave participants space to create and shine. Preliminary data? Confidence and self-efficacy skyrocketed. ✨ Congratulations, Ellen—and to all our grads making meaningful change in the world. (fb)
