A Message from Sonya Hensley:
My mission at this point in my life is to encourage people, especially woman and others who have cared for everything and everyone else their whole lives. They put their dreams on the back burner. I want them to pull out their pens, paper, coloring books, music, fun outfits, play, heal, and laugh.
I want to inspire till I expire. I was just a little girl growing up in the west end. Look at the great adventure that came from the free dance classes, the J. Graham Brown School art classes and lots of mentors. I am now a mentor too!
