SHEER had the honor of hosting our very first creative workshop at Children of Promise NYC!
Children of Promise, NYC is a community-centered organization that partners with children and families impacted by mass incarceration to dismantle the stigma and heal from the trauma plaguing Black and Brown communities.
We had a chance to create with two groups of scholars through an affirmation focused workshop that involved taking Polaroids of the scholars and giving them the space to customize posters with their Polaroids and favorite uplifting affirmations surrounding them. ❤️✨
MAJOR thank you to the amazing team at CPNYC, the fantastic scholars, and all of our wonderful creative volunteers!: Henry Danner, Kamille Glen, Natiah Jones, RaSheba Jones, and Jessica Bruzanniti.

Nada Esmaeel’s work is alive and vibrant, rich in detail and color. In addition to paintings, illustrations and animations, she has also designed 3D gaming environments where woven rugs hang from the walls and colored lanterns are strung across an intimate courtyard. But in each of these varied mediums, the subject is almost always Palestinian people and their culture.
