Passionately Providing Solutions to 21st Century Challenges and Pitfalls: Fervently Focusing on Arts, Fashion & Culture as effective life skills tools.
PHILOSOPHY
Your Time For Creative Empowerment, Inc. is our contribution towards a much needed solution to the challenges of life and pitfalls of the 21st century.
We believe that the task at hand calls for solutions that are not ordinarily thought of as viable and effective by others outside the area of the arts.
*
As artists, we are forever taking on challenges as we create something out of nothing, as we seize upon opportunities to create the tangible and aesthetic which even though not, preconceived, takes its rightful place in this world.
*
We neither entertain nor tolerate the term 'obstacle' in our lexicon of life.
*
We see opportunities we can build from, not obstacles that are meant to keep us down.
*
We believe in and value the idea of working collaboratively with teaching artists and other professionals and experts to provide arts-centered solutions to life's problems.
*
We believe that assisting youth and parents in practicing creative ways of identifying, developing, and creating self-help solutions to relevant issues that affect them, will result in improvement in the areas of personal development, multicultural and social acceptance/tolerance.
*
We are excited to work with all people who can benefit from our programs regardless of race, creed or socioeconomic status.
*
We strongly believe that challenges do not discriminate and as such, the resulting problems and difficulties do not discriminate when it comes to whose doorstep on which to land! When we fail to join forces and address issues that plague mankind, society and humanity end up suffering a deterioration of their social, economic and moral structure.
