The Simple Good News

Priya Shah,Chicago Nonprofit,Art Education

The Simple Good CEO Priya Shah said deep reflection work through art helps kids recall meaningful things in their lives and how they impact others.

The Simple Good is a Chicago-based arts nonprofit that provides social and emotional learning arts programs to students K-12 to support youth mental health.

"Growing up, I never saw a brown woman with one hand, let alone a woman with one hand," Shah said. "It was very early on that I realized it wasn't me that was creating the obstacles, it was people's assumptions of me." "I'm doing this because I want to elevate The Simple Good," Shah said. "It's to create that representation in the modeling world."Chicago announces $5M assistance fund for students with disabilities; application opens for families
