Artist Spotlight:

Congratulations to Derroles Jefferson, who has been accepted into Parsons School of Design in New York after evacuating with her family.

"I have had my most major life experiences through this organization. I think of YA/YA now as a family more than an organization. YA/YA has given me opportunities that I would not have imagined -- including the trip here to New York to enroll at Parsons. Attending Parsons became a positive outcome of the horrible circumstance that snatched me away from my life in New Orleans." – Derroles
