Dreaming Out Loud, founded in 2008, was created in response to the educational disparities in underserved urban communities. Their aim is to transform some of the prevailing negative attitudes youth have about education and to direct them towards positive character development. Their services have focused primarily on Wards 7 and 8 in Washington, DC, where some of the most pressing economic, educational and social development needs converge to affect young people. In July, Dreaming Out Loud launched Aya Community Markets, a famers market and holistic health experience. Aya works to provide fresh produce and healthy food choices as well as other services to aid in physical, financial and mental health.
The Daydreamer Creative is a D.C based creative arts brand that creates and offers art inspired products through diverse mediums. Original artwork, art reprints, clothing, skate decks...the list is endless All that they do represents the power of the daydream in action; the power of the idea animated with passion and zeal to make it manifest in the material world.
