In honor of National Arts in Education Week I'm sharing my personal story of the transformative power of the arts in education. #BecauseOfArtsEd I have carved out my own business niche that represents my life purpose. In 2012, as part of my Allie Knows personal brand, I created the Allie Knows Performing Arts Company, which provided affordable performing arts services for girls ages 5-13 in dance, acting, and modeling. Inspired by my journey, I continued to push the envelope and in Spring 2014 became Founder/Creative Director of a creative youth development brand Alliekits, which brings together the performing arts services and in addition builds confidence, engage creativity, and foster leadership to help girls find their innate gifts, reach their highest potential, and exceed the changes of our society. Alliekits mission is to engage the soul through art & creative forms of expression that inspire and empower girls to be Confident, Creative, Bold Leaders who...STAND 4 CHANGE!
