Mayla's CreARTivity Project

Mayla lives with her Grandma whom she loves dearly. As Mayla faces a variety of challenges associated with growing up, her Grandma introduces her to a variety of outlets to express hard feelings. When Mayla finds out she has to read out loud to her class at school, Grandma takes her into the backyard to beat on a drum -- first, to work through frustration, then to help her prepare for the speaking assignment. Along the way, she is introduced to painting, music, clay molding, writing and much more. Mayla learns to use her imagination which gives her courage to try new things and to process through emotions. Before long, Mayla has developed many tools to help her express her feelings, providing an outlet to be creative and skills that help her build concentration, focus and self-confidence.
