Kevyn Tapia | One Year Later

Kevyn, or Kevo Nobody, began his journey with TFD back in the Summer of 2021! It has now been a full year since we have gotten to know Kevyn. He is a YouTuber and this past year has been full of creating new content. He got to develop his skills and learn new things from his mentorship like how to tell a story creatively. Over the last few months, he has been working at TFD as our Video Content Creator. A year later, Kevyn is now working on a short film that will be coming out soon as well as continuing his growth at TFD! We are so excited to see what else Kevyn will accomplish!

Amanda | One Year Later

Amanda began her journey at TFD in March of 2021. In the beginning, calligraphy began as a fun hobby, then when doing calligraphy work for some of her fellow mentees, the dream became more of a reality. Now a year later, she has a thriving calligraphy business! Amanda has now officially led two workshops at TFD for new mentees, which everyone really enjoyed! The TFD team is so proud of Amanda and how far she has come. We are happy to continue to support her dreams!
