Kim had the pleasure of visiting Advancing Students Forward in Tijuana, Mexico, and seeing the incredible work they do in person. The founder, Monica, takes in kids and pledges to support them through school until they graduate. She also showers them with love and care. This is a huge deal for many reasons.
The mission of Advancing Students Forward is to provide underserved students access to education and support for academic success so that they can create a promising future for themselves and for the community in which they live. ASF is a binational nonprofit, supporting students in Tijuana, Mexico and promoting cross cultural and educational exchanges between students on both sides of the border.
Kim is especially passionate about supporting afterschool education and arts programs because their impact reaches across generations. Her mother, Marisol, grew up in a program like this, where she was encouraged to explore her creativity. That spark stayed with her throughout her life, and in turn inspired Kim to become an artist. Seeing organizations like Advancing Students Forward invest in young people reminds Kim that when a child is given support, encouragement, and the opportunity to dream, the effects can last a lifetime.
The Black and Gold Minis are a meditation on balance, beauty in brokenness, and the quiet coexistence of dark and light. Inspired by the philosophy of renewal and the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where fractured pottery is repaired with gold, each work reflects the idea that what has been broken can return even more beautiful, carrying its history with grace. These pieces are handmade with 23k gold accents, and explore resilience, transformation, and the delicate harmony between grounding depth and radiant warmth.
