This mission is my way of highlighting the importance of self-expression through art, writing activities, but is also a lesson in delayed gratification. Not everything is ready and in front of your door the following day. Things take time which is why I decided to intentionally utilize mail instead of relying on email.

What started out as a virtual workshop in 2021, has now transformed into a mission based Planetary Discovery Activity that invites children, youth, and even adults to create their very own planet within The Fear Theory universe. I’ve collaborated with Cadets of all ages to discovery over 125 planets. I’ve seen first hand how activities like this strengthen creative thinking, storytelling, and builds self-confidence. Nothing can compare to the moment someone looks at their work and says, “wow, I created that” and as much as I’m attempting to limit the use of phones and technology, I figured participants might as well use it to share what you’ve created, outside of social media.
