As an artist, you dream, you create, you build, you share. The journey isn’t linear. It’s layered, its messy filled with with doubt, fear, faith, risk, rejection, resilience, and community. You feel exposed and vunerable at times but you keep going.
That is my story.
To every artist: keep working.
To every space that allowed me to imagine bigger: thank you.
To every “no” that redirected me toward my purpose: Praise, God.
To every mentor who took a chance: you are appreciated.
To my family and friends: I love you.
The King Arts Complex has always been more than a building or a program. It has been a steward of culture, a convener of community, and a keeper of stories. That legacy is powerful and carries responsibility.
I am deeply grateful for this opportunity, and I approach it with humility and a deep sense of stewardship. I look forward to working in partnership with stakeholders across Central Ohio to ensure the King Arts Complex remains deeply connected to the community it serves, while fostering an environment rooted in inclusivity, representation, and cultural excellence.
Grateful. Grounded. Ready.
Together, let’s create what’s next!

Thank you, @orange_barrel_media
After six incredible years leading Community Engagement, I’m filled with gratitude.
@petescantland thank you for the opportunity, your trust, your vision, and your leadership. I appreciate you more than you know.
To my colleagues across every team, and to our community partners in every market: thank you for the collaboration, trust, and partnership.
Together, we helped shape communities. We built meaningful partnerships, supported artists and mission-driven organizations, and delivered real public value across the markets we serve. I’m proud of what we created, and even more grateful for the people behind it.🧡
I can’t wait to see what comes next.

What a morning. ✨
Thank you to everyone who joined us for one of our most beautifully filled rooms of the year — your presence made today feel electric.
We opened with a soul-shifting performance from T. Wong and Parker Louis, setting the tone for connection and reflection. And then Corey Favor reminded us why creativity is more than a skill — it’s a catalyst for belonging, community, and courageous growth.
If you walked away inspired to show up more fully in your creative life, you were in the right room.
And if you missed it, we can’t wait to welcome you next month. 💙

Display my name and work in city lights; but immortalize the message!
Spread more love today; the world needs it. Set your boundaries, make those decisions. Let’s give what we sometimes don’t feel received. Let’s try to be better than we were yesterday.
If you need a hug; give one
If you want love; give love
If you want respect; treat others with it as well.
If you want patience; be patient with others.
Don’t give just in order to receive, give without malice, or expected return. What you want received give that with intent and love and watch it come back.

🔥From Dreams to Legacy Built on Community🔥
In this continuation of our Dreams2Reality feature with Shayla and Corey Favor, Corey shares how his journey as a young entrepreneur was shaped by everyday people who believed in his potential.
Long before recognition or titles, it was the support from his community that helped him grow—personally and professionally. Those early experiences laid the foundation for who he is today as a creative, a leader, and a husband.
This is what mentorship in action looks like.
