Someone once told me that “it’s not what people say you are that makes you, it’s what people say you aren’t.” Some of the world’s greatest leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., Maya Angelou and Albert Einstein were once considered losers, rejected and irrelevant, but they didn’t allow this to cloud their paths. They turned their pain into power and impacted the world with their God given talent. Many young artists and activists today have followed in their footsteps and contributed to making the world a better place. His last name says it best. Multi-talented artist Darryl Hurts expresses his pain, pleasure and life experiences in various forms of art.
