Talia is a small business owner, entrepreneur, mentor, and community leader. At Bridgemakers, she is a lead mentor and facilitator, working directly with the youth we serve. Her creative production house, Wildocity, is a rebellion against the school system that failed her, and through Bridegmakers, she’s amplified Wildocity’s ability to turn art into opportunity.
This year, Talia has brought young artists into her studio to build marketable skills and explore artmaking opportunities. Her mission is to take art that’s criminalized and turn it into opportunities for expression and financial stability.
