Gabriele Preston is a teaching artist and youth worker based in West Philly. Gabriele has been developing creative workshops for youth and young adults on themes of self-expression and empowerment for almost 5 years. Their best days tend to involve talking at length with a kid about ideas, shapes, colors, or whatever else might come up. Gabriele believes that everyone deserves to have their autonomy respected, to be told the truth, to make decisions for themselves, and to be listened to and feel heard, regardless of age.
