Product Overview
A Family’s Forward Journey
Keva (17, adopted from foster care)
About the Artwork:
’Family’ isn’t defined by people’s stereotypes. It can look many different ways, come in all shapes, sizes, and come in a whole rainbow of colors. It’s in the smiles you share, the hand there to hold yours, and the memories that altogether make you ‘family’. My piece is here to represent ‘family’, something everyone should have.
About The Artist:
My name is Keva. I am 17 years old and a rising senior in school. I am homeschooled which is awesome because I have more time to do things I love, like art! I love drawing, painting, and writing & performing poetry. I enjoy creating meaningful pieces that people connect to and love. I was lucky enough to be adopted from foster care when I was a baby and joined 2 of my biological siblings in our forever family.
Fostering Creativity is a public awareness campaign that seeks to empower those who have experienced foster care to share their perspective with the world. It is the voices of those who have actually experienced foster care and adoption that are the most important. Fostering Creativity aims to empower these youth to raise awareness about foster care through the power of art.
Right now, there are more than 8,000 youth in Massachusetts foster care and hundreds of them have no permanent family. Their voices are often unheard. We want to change that. We hope you will join us #SpeakUpforAdoption by supporting the creativity and unique voices of these kids.
