Hope Blooms

My heart is covered in bright red poppies, which have been a symbol of hope and rebirth since World War I. On one side, the bouquet of poppies is held by a white hand. On the other side, it’s held by a brown hand. This shows the different cultures and backgrounds in the Kansas City community. These bright cheerful blooms are my wish and hope – that Kansas City could overcome any tough times and come out stronger and more loving.
Kansas City has been through a lot of tough times over the last few years, not only the pandemic and violence in the community. My heart is a way of showing how there are a lot of organizations in the community who are doing really good things. Let’s look to those communities or organizations and make us better.
