Before the interview, Jimi and I free-wrote on the prompt:  can everyone express?
From Jimi's free-writing:  Expression is vital to human existence.  Arts gives us a dialogue within which we can express.

Some quotes from the interview:

• "Art is a means of expression and it gives the capacity to our audience to express."
• "Try getting through a day without a story."
• "Art is the reflection of the community and vice versa."
• "As an artist, I'm interested in improving my community and making it a better place."

Thanks, Jimi, you rock.
