    Dear Artist,

    From time to time inom do workshops and demonstrations for art clubs in my community. At the beginning I generally ask some questions: &#;How many paint in oils, how many in watercolor, how many in acrylic?&#; Here I look clearly into the faces of those who have given up an evening to try to pick up a new technique or two. Generally, eight out of ten will be women. Often these women will be in the process of switching gears from previous identities as wives or mothers. Some will have taken up painting the way others take up golf or bridge.

    In popularity, painting is only slightly behind photography and slightly ahead of goldfish. Those artists who regularly teach adult classes and do workshops know that it’s a growth industry. When I look into those shining faces I realize I’m witness to a phenomenon that has not existed to such a degree in previous times. It’s estimated there are now 7 million women painters in the world. I’m not going to go into the sociometric causes

    Eric Walters
    Profile by Dave Jenkinson.

    Born March 3, , in Toronto, Eric spent his childhood and adolescence in that city's west end "where the majority of the people I grew up with ended up in jail or in troubled spots. I think the reality is that life is not necessarily a bowl of cherries for people. I believe two themes run through my stories. One is a sense of belonging - people want to belong somewhere. The second theme is that, whether you're female or male, you have some power to make changes in your life. Life does not have to just 'do to you.' You can make a decision that you're going to do things for yourself and overcome. There's nothing more wonderful than overcoming adversity, to stare it in the eyes and to win. We don't have to be victims. One of the societal trends I see is looking for someone to blame for what's gone wrong for you. You've got to take responsibility for things. Rather than finding an excuse to fail, find a reason to succeed."

    My &#;Why&#; Story

    By Kolapo Olarewaju

    My name is Kolapo Olarewaju. inom am an Architect and Interior designer who volunteers with the youth empowerment group of JDI (Jela’s Development Initiatives). I am the Project Manager of the Youth Empowerment Team of JDI.

    My JDI story is incomplete without the visionary, Mrs Angela Ochu- Baiye.

    My first encounter with her was on Instagram, when she organized a training to help young Nigerians to learn how to write a proper curriculum vitae. I felt she was doing something laudable and inom am naturally drawn to people who engage in the betterment of Nigeria, and anyone who engages young Nigerians wins my heart.

    Volunteering, for me, has been an age-long engagement, and inom will share two significant stories of my life that endeared me to being a part of JDI. 

    The first encounter was when I was about six years old in the city of Kaduna, where I was born. Growing up there was fun; those were the times when with a fifty kobo note, you could g
