One of my favorite moments from last Sunday was hearing Mia say, ” So this is what it would be like if I was famous,” after walking half a block of Sutton and me circling her with cameras.

Reliving Mia’s commute from home to Alder.

There is no doubt in my mind that one day Mia will be superstar famous- she’s a mover and a groover when it comes to issues she cares about, and that’s what we need. People who actually create change are what society loves- even while Sutton and I were filming on the MAX Blue Line to Alder, a man came up, shook Mia’s hand and said he admired the work she was doing. Granted, people in Portland are friendly – and audacious – like that, but regardless of what city we were in, I’m sure anyone who overhead Mia talk about why she engages kids in the arts would be inspired.
