THE MISSION

"AT THE BEGINNING OF 2022, NIRVANI BROWN ART BECAME A BUSINESS OF IMPACT.

THERE ARE 46 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TODAY SUFFERING FROM A LIFE OF FORCED LABOR, FORCED MARRIAGE, FORCED BEGGING, SEXUAL EXPLOITATION, AND MORE BECAUSE OF THE HEINOUS CRIME OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING. THIS IS NOT A FACELESS CRIME; BETWEEN 15,000 TO 50,000 WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE FORCED INTO SEX SLAVERY EVERY YEAR IN THE UNITED STATES ALONE.

IT IS TRUE THAT ART CAN BE AN AMAZING HEALING PRACTICE. IT ALLOWS US TO EXPLORE OUR EMOTIONS, FOCUS ON CREATIVITY, AND SHARE IN THE DIGNITY OF BRINGING AN IDEA TO LIFE WITH OUR OWN HANDS. LEARNING AN ARTISTIC SKILL IS OFTEN INCORPORATED INTO REINTEGRATION AND THERAPY PROGRAMS FOR SURVIVORS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING BECAUSE IT BRINGS JOY AND MAY ALSO PRESENT AN OPPORTUNITY TO EARN MONEY.

I LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT ART CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I HOPE TO USE MY BUSINESS AS A PLATFORM TO HELP RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND TO SUPPORT CAUSES THAT FIGHT AGAINST MODERN DAY SLAVERY. AS AN ACT OF GOOD WILL, I AM COMMITTED TO DONATING 10% OF THE LISTING PRICE OF EACH PAINTING SALE TO A 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT FIGHTS AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND EXPLOITATION."
