“Everyone is born with a rainbow of talents. However, as immigrants, we are often faced with challenges – the need to assimilate and the ardent desire to make it in our adoptive country, no matter the cost. Often, the need to survive mutes the colors of our rainbow of talents. Sacrifices and compromises have to be made, and we set aside our passions and our need to create. We are fully aware that our existence has two bookends: the day that we were born and the day that we leave this earth to join our Creator. In between those two bookends, our lives take on a ‘body of creative work’ an a ‘body of existence.’ – Prosy Delacruz
