Four years ago, I left my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, and embarked on a cross-country road trip that would completely alter the course of my life.

My senior year of high school, I found myself in a creative rut. I’d spent my life engaging with the arts in any way I could, but now was tasked with the decision of a lifetime: choose just one path forward. But, on this trip, I visited Boston for the very first time. There, in the February snow, I saw students trekking from building to building, clutching canvases and musical instruments and notebooks and the hands of friends, sometimes all at once. It was then, in my dad’s pickup truck, that I knew that I didn’t want to choose. I wanted to be here, to learn to be an artist who can do everything.

When I joined Zach at PK Productions, I made it my mission to make this company a home for creatives who want just that — a space where they can do everything. Now, well into our second summer of late nights, caffeinated mornings, and phone calls taken on the way to our day jobs, I can confidently say that PK Productions has provided not only a safe space for our team of young artists to grow creatively, but a community in which the possibilities truly feel limitless. This team leads with passion and grit, yes, but what is most clear to me is how much they love what they do - and how much they love each other.

Your support takes us from “What if” to “What’s Next,” breaking down barriers that young artists so often face as they fight to make their voices heard. This summer, as we take on our two most ambitious projects to date, we are so grateful for your unwavering belief in the next generation of storytellers.

Thank you for making it possible for girls like me to do — and be — everything. We couldn’t do it without you.
