Artisan Testimonials

What I love about Aspire is that the people here are really nice. There are lots of different jobs to learn how to do and I have learned a lot of life skills here. I have met two people, Allie and Sam. Every week we have become closer as friends and I cannot wait to see them again each week. 

One of the jobs I have learned how to do, and is also one of my favorite jobs is braiding. It was very quick and easy to learn how to do, and it is very peaceful and relaxing to sit there and just braid. Lastly, I have learned a lot of life skills here but the most important one that I have learned is patience. I have learned that patience is so important. 

I am so glad that I am here working at Aspire Accessories, and I am happy to continue here for as long as possible.
