water and a Gentleman comes by and questions why he's doing that and he says well I'm trying to save the staff fish and he says you can't save all of them he says no but I can save this one and that's what it's about hello I'm here at the parking lot right behind Brockton Community Access city of Champions public education and government access station we're here celebrating the mural that says make a difference and we've been talking to some dignitary City dignitaries we've been talking to the artist her family and it's a great Community event with multiple vendors out here helping the community with health any sort of issue they might have social issue health issue they're out here helping the community we also have some fun games snow cones popcorn Pizza a good time for everybody's children are out here dancing we got the DJ playing music it's a great time here on a Saturday afternoon in Brockton and this is all about community and it's all about making a difference the message that we hear in Brockton that um we're improving uh we uh we're vibrant colorful we wanted we want to make things look you know aesthetically pleasing welcoming and um and attractive so the concept we have going on here is we have the few kids they're working on like throwing the starfish back and um I just wanted to create something colorful to bring some Vibrance and some color into this this area here and um I wanted to include a few different kids so not just the one throwing the starfish in but some other people trying to make a difference as well and then the old man who is standing next to the boy he's asking him what's going on what are you doing and then so I kind of wanted to just tie everything together with a bunch of colors and um yeah Jessica has taken it to a whole novel another level she so much joy in everything she does and it's just impressive to see all the work that she's done and how it's touched so many people so we're just really proud of her she's just always been a light and to see her out here working on this she's I mean we're just so proud of her and she's proud to do something for the community and she's met so many people while she's been out here and she's been thriving on it she loves it she loves art and people I had to come I I know Jessica I know her father she does make a difference this is just a great time everybody should be out here and take a look at this it's about making a difference in the city of Brockton it's about all of us coming together communities a very diverse City Gateway City we're all important we're all together and we're all one so we have to come together make a difference for the city of Champions and move us forward our original goal was to work with addicts and alcoholic chicken recovery their families friends and the community through our unique art forms recovery graffiti and what we did was graffiti gets a bad rap show we chose to turn a negative into a positive and turn graffiti into a beautiful art form and that's what we've done yeah so it's a mix of like house paint so exterior paint and then spray paint so here the sky is completely spray paint and so is the ocean and then everything else is um brushwork this mural is beautiful I it's going to be it's a great Community effort to bring out the people and show the people what we're working working for which is making a difference in our community and positive things and working together when I was working I met a bunch of people very very kind and one person said something that stood out to me they were a fellow artist and so we were talking while they came by and they were like when you have nothing at least you have art and so that's really something that I stand by because you it never goes away it's something you can always hold on to and I think that's really important to have that one thing for yourself that you can always fall back on whether it be a person or something you're interested in I think that's that's great you know Brockton where the only city in Plymouth County we're a big city and a lot of people don't realize the resources that we have here and there are a lot of vendors I just spoke with some of the gentlemen at Pac I believe they're in what they're doing is amazing they're helping uh you know people that need housing and Workforce they're getting them housing and work I mean that's that's what this this is what the city needs what a lot of our population needs especially in these you know in these hard times but I see everything from you know nurses to Pinnacle partnership to like free food over there we have the DA's office give you know informing people about Public Safety we have great music in the background so Brockton has always been Bridge with resources but our biggest problems sometimes we don't get that information out and this is a great way to get the information shout out to VCA because BCA was really the first place that I did my first mural and it was really a turning point in my career I guess you could say now because this is now how I'm making my income and it was a big stepping stone and it was something I was pretty nervous about because I hadn't worked that big before but I just I just had trust in myself and trust that I would be able to create something that I would be proud of and I wouldn't stop working on it until it got to that point where all right I think this is this is where I want it to be and um yeah so that was such a great opportunity so thank you so much for that and then just the continual opportunities of the windows that was even my first window painting as well and it really um it's opening my horizons so much and bringing me a bunch of different opportunities so seriously thank you from the bottom of my heart BCA is the best honestly they are it's not hard to give a shout out they have been so good to 24 Hour Power they really have we we did a television show for two years that you that you people ran consistently every single week called recovery Recreation and um yeah I can't say enough about you PCA is one of my favorite organizations here in Brockton and I hope everybody loses it I tell everybody that they could watch our first of all meetings live on the Brockton cable access and they can a lot of coming to BCA and uh you know tell everyone doing a podcast or they can do an informational session where they could talk about uh you know whatever event they have happening uh and um in the city or outside of the city but this is really you guys are amazing and you cover all of all of Brompton so I always encourage people to watch you and you're the only reason I have podcasts at home so I just want to thank really from the bottom of our heart
