Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Vienna entered foster care at 16 and faced the tough reality of moving between different homes. During this time, she found comfort in drawing, using her sketchbooks to express her feelings and creativity. Art became her voice. Now, she’s focused on her future and is apprenticing at a local tattoo shop. She's learning how to tattoo and gaining hands-on experience. For her, tattooing is more than just making art; it’s about connecting with people and turning pain into something beautiful. Despite the challenges she’s faced, Vienna is determined to create a powerful and creative future for herself.

An Apple iPad would really help her in her art journey. With apps like Procreate, she can create tattoo designs, build a professional portfolio, and try out different styles—all on one device. For Vienna, the iPad isn’t just a gadget; it’s a way to open doors and support her creative growth as she works toward a happy and stable career.
