World-Renowned Artist Romero Britto Visits the Program

The Carnival Scholarship and Mentoring Program had a special visitor in December: internationally renowned artist Romero Britto! Following a video about his life and career, Romero spoke to the group about his upbringing in Brazil and the struggles he faced as he worked to make a better life for himself. We opened the floor for questions, and Romero discussed a variety of topics — from how he paints to spread love and hope to surrounding yourself with people who know more than you. The mentors and students were full of awe listening to his advice and hearing about his journey.
