"I thank my lucky stars constantly, that I had a place like The Barn when I was growing up. Having a space that allowed me to flex my creative muscles in a bunch of different directions was absolutely instrumental in
learning about who I was and what I wanted to do. The Barn also cultivated an environment that invited and accepted kids from all different walks of life. It can feel like there's only one kind of kid living in Madison sometimes, but I never felt like that when I was at the Barn. I carry my experiences at The Barn constantly, and I hope it can continue to help everyone find their creativity as well as highlight how our differences make us powerful.I thank my lucky stars constantly had a place like The Barn when I was growing up.
