We also saw this as a way to help students develop real-world skills that are critical for post-graduation success. Lastly—and perhaps more importantly— we saw a way in which we could assist these students in getting their innovative\, extremely marketable business concepts onto paper and to consumers. \nStudents from DeKalb High School\, Lakewood Park High School\, Eastside High School and Garrett High School are eligible to enter. \nClick the button below to view more information![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”fontawesome” url=”https://launchdekalbcounty.com/” text=”View Event”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

His artwork covers a wide range of topics from racism and gun violence in America\, to powerful stories of victory and triumph. He’s captured the attention of his celebrity subjects and has been acknowledged by the likes of stars such as Gene Simmons and Erykah Badu. While his career as an artist has caught fire\, he’s also a father of two\, a husband\, a son\, and a man with a story to share with the world. \nTheo’s inclination to creativity started at the young age of three. One of four boys\, his creativity was sparked and encouraged by his parents. His father\, an oil painter\, and his mother\, a seamstress\, his upbringing gave him a lot of permission to exercise his creative muscles and express himself. As Theo grew older\, however\, he found himself frustrated with his lack of direction and identity. While others flourished and followed their paths\, Theo felt he was at a loss. \nEventually\, Theo realized that he felt the most value and worth when he painted. Ultimately\, was able to find himself in his art. Thus\, it gave rise to Phresh Laundry. The name comes from the powerful stories he tells through his art\, where he “hangs his laundry” for the world to see. Theo’s art shows his powerful perspective and is meant to spark conversation and dialogue among people. The bold messages he puts out through his art tell stories of mercy\, empowerment\, triumph\, or sometimes\, just really dope art.\n_________________________________________________________ \nJoin us as for a discussion with Theoplis Smith about his journey with Phresh Laundry and about finding what sparked his fire through the noise of life. We’ll dive into the personal challenges he faced in finding his authenticity and how following that authenticity led him to a passionate and fulfilling career that has influenced and touched so many. \nThere will be a cash bar\, hot drinks\, & food provided by Caliente![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”fontawesome” url=”https://www.eventbrite.com/e/theoplis-smith-finding-your-fire-tickets-55921321177?fbclid=IwAR0Xzo_ciUBQqHq4SXevpYZPjQjXsAJ0IYMOW6KApVBdQbGvB2xx_PyQxFw” text=”Register For Event”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
