The Artist behind Moonlight and Mangos has been very busy wearing many hats, including working for the Nassau County government and preparing for the upcoming Tuesday November 4th election.
The four days leading to the election will be the busiest as The Artist will be managing the Get out to Vote initiative for the re-election campaign of Haitian-American NYS Assemblywoman, Michaelle Solages. This initiative aims to encourage NY residents in especially Elmont and Valley Stream to vote and become more involved in their community's decision-making process.
"It's important to vote," said The Artist. "If people don't get up and vote, they will never get what they deserve."
"People count on us to not vote so they can stay in power," she added. "You can't complain [about your situation] if you don't do something."
The Artist is in charge of coordinating with volunteers and paying workers to make phone calls for the election. Moreover, she is currently looking for poll workers for 2Pm-9PM and 3PM-7PM shifts. The salary is 10/hr. If you are looking to make extra cash and help out an important cause, please get in touch with her at (516) 244-9560.
She also works as the director of Creative Art Space for Kids, a non-profit art center for kids located in the Long Island area. There, you will also find her paintings along the walls for purchase.
"I have been selling a lot of paintings," said The Artist who explained that despite her busy schedule, she always manages to find time to paint. 
There will be an Open House for the Creative Art Space for Kids on November 16th. On December 6th, The Artist will have an Art Exhibition also at the Creative Art Space for Kids. This exhibition will be a celebration of her birthday and a ground to raise money for Haiti Relief Fund, an organization where The Artist serves as Vice President. 34% of the proceeds will go to this organization. 
She further explained that wearing very different hats makes her more creative. 
"This is just the beginning," she stated. "I have no limit." 
She is now working on putting together an art book and a collection of her writings. 

I plan to see all of you at those events. The Creative Art Space for Kids address is below. ;)
