We Are Family

Get Inspired: The Art of Beatboxing

We are family! Sharing your passions is a great way to express yourself, explore your creativity, and learn something new. We're inviting your family to think about the importance of sharing your passions with loved ones. Check out this video about a father-daughter beatboxing duo and how sharing their passion built strong family bonds.

We all have talents to share. Showing family and friends your talents and passions is an important part of having fun together, showing vulnerability, and building connections. Your passions are important - share them with the world!

Let’s Talk

After watching the video The Art of Beatboxing, use the questions below to kick-start a great conversation with your family today:

• What inspired you about Nicole and Ed's story? What made you smile?

• Do you have a talent or passion? Did someone teach you or did you teach yourself?

• Why is it important to share your passions with loved ones? When was the last time you shared your talent with someone you love?

• Bonus! Ask someone to show you their passion, talent, or favorite hobby! You might learn something new!

Community Connections: Families Helping Families

Family supplies needed! Our friends at La Casa Norte are working hard to support families who are experiencing housing insecurity. Essential items like diapers, wipes, toiletries, and backpacks, are expensive and many families are in need of community support.

If you're out shopping for your own family, consider picking up some extra diapers and wipes for families in need. La Casa Norte is in need of diapers sized 2-5 but especially 4-5.

Items can be dropped off contact-free at La Casa Norte's Main Office, between 9am -5pm at 3533 W North Ave, Chicago, IL or contact them at info@lacasanorte.org or 773-276-4900 x 212 to schedule a pick up.
