COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHT: Vanessa Lewis
Meet Vanessa Lewis of FLYSTART, an intervention/prevention organization that steers individuals away from institutionalized models.
Creating entrepreneurial spirits through mentorship, community support, and professional networking. They provide financial literacy programs, and spaces that allow for artists to learn the power of investing their time, energy, and capital into themselves and their respective crafts. With the goal of letting them know that they are not forgotten and that there are opportunities for them to advance in the artistic field when they come home.
Vanessa was posed with the perfect question: what’s something that you enjoy that you don’t get tired of? Vanessa’s caring and nurturing character exudes in her simple yet thoughtful response, “helping people”. Tacoma is so lucky to have people like Vanessa working and leading passionately “from the back”.
