On March 29th, 2009, while getting ready for my uncle Michael’s birthday party, I got a call from an unfamiliar phone number from Moscow. A polite lady greeted me with a weird accent. “We are glad to inform you that you have become the Future Leaders Exchange program finalist”, she announced mixing both Russian and English languages.

I can recall coming across an old photograph of myself recently. I must have been about three years old at most – my hair was in a tattered mess, smears of colors all over my face as I painted on my “life size” easel outside my home in the summertime.
I know that I did not pick up that brush one day and just start painting away. It truly did not all begin at one point in time, nor was it sourced from any specific place – I was simply blessed when I was born into a family rich with...
