Part 1 of a series pertaining to vulnerability and how our perception on the topic changed as we grew older and wiser. Dominique grew up in a military family and played sports, so vulnerability was never promoted as a positive. He explains how the idea of vulnerability being a weakness was drilled into his head while growing into a man. Ms. Latrice describes how the concept of vulnerability intersects with womanhood, art, and other facets of life. She also talks about how being vulnerable is, in many ways, congruent to being free. Both Dominique and Ms. Latrice explain that being vulnerable makes you relatable and allows you to better connect with others.

She has definitely remained artistically busy and emphasizes that art engages all five senses. Dominique shares that he's been writing more often and that it's very therapeutic for him.
