The SCAD Museum of Art. @scadmoa
The one turn of phrase I can think of when I think of this space is "Thank you."
Thank you for giving me my first job!
Thank you for taking a shot on me when I probably wouldn't have taken a shot on myself.
Thank you Kristin Poitras for seeing the potential I had and giving me responsibility after responsibility, trusting that I would rise to the occasion.
And I did. Every single time. Thanks to relying on God, therapy, and the growth I knew I was working towards.
Every step of this journey has been an unbelievable blessing and I can't believe it all started with me in the lobby of the museum after I had just moved to America and then again in a couple of months and then again in another couple of months, this time with a sword under my arm.
I was an acting student. We did that sort of thing. It wasn't real and it wasn't a threat. I promise.
I am blessed and honored to have served this amazing institution from 2019-2024 and what a privilege it was to hate something, learn that hate is pointless, grow to love it, and move forward with a bold, new relationship with this job that has changed my life, forever.
Thank you @scaddotedu and @scadmoa
Yours faithfully,
Sam Qavah John.
