Eben recently started working with local nonprofit, 916 Ink, a company that specializes in teaching children about writing and publishing.

Junior was honored to be among the first artists to sign up for the project, and here we discuss the importance teaching kids that anything really is possible, as long as they're willing to dream it and then do it!
