@mz_kayla915
Last year, I was the overall winner of the first Skeyez N' Starz showcase. Before the showcase, I struggled with a lot of pain in myself. I had an eating disorder, I had depression, I experienced a major loss in my life. I was in a deep hole. I was lost. I then discovered Skeyez N' Starz showcase and I felt like I finally had a voice. I wrote but was too afraid to performed. I stepped out of my comfort zone and slowly began to find myself while preforming. This showcase has helped me develop a talent I was worried I was not good enough at. I met other artists and began expressing myself more. Both with and without my writing. Life has taken me down many different paths however winning the Skeyez N' Starz showcase showed me my writing will be with me as I go down each one!

Owen Stevens Photography offers unique photo experiences by playing with light and shadows to portraying an elegant story.
Photographer and painter Steven Rosenbaum was inspired by the stories his teacher, “Mora” Ruth (who also was a Holocaust Survivor), would tell every Sabbath Eve while he would draw. Her stories would evoke emotions that influenced Steven's drawings inspiring him to later tell stories with the images he captures in his photos and paintings today.
