January in May: A Fresh Start for Creatives, Foster Youth & Our Community

January in May: A Fresh Start for Creatives, Foster Youth & Our Community

January in May is here. We’re moving with purpose — creatives, foster youth, and our community united. Join our 85° F Motion with Inked & Motioned: street‑cleaning, kindness challenges, and real connection. Let’s reset, uplift, and move forward together.

Inked & Motioned is our call to action — a blend of art, movement, and community care.

The Street Cleaning Challenge

We’re stepping outside, gloves on, bags in hand, and cleaning the blocks that raised us.
This is about:

  • Pride

  • Presence

  • Showing our youth what community looks like in motion

Every clean street is a canvas for something better. It’s simple, real, and rooted in love for our neighborhoods.

The Kindness Challenge

Small acts. Big impact.
We’re encouraging everyone to:

  • Compliment a stranger

  • Support a local creative

  • Donate to a foster youth

  • Share a meal

  • Offer a helping hand

Kindness is free — and it multiplies fast.


This movement is especially for the artists who shape culture.

Poets

Painters

Your voice. Your motion. Your creativity. Your heart.

We're diving into the fascinating world of neuroplasticity—because who wouldn't want a brain that's as flexible as a gymnast? Step 1: Identify the Gremlins First, let's hunt down those pesky automatic negative thoughts (ANTs). You know, the little gremlins whispering, "You're not good enough" or "Why try, you'll fail."
