In Haiti, the words “ L'union fait la Force” is seen on the flag. This means “Strength Through Unity” and it is the energetic seed he wishes to share with every student he comes in contact with.
Mayouba was born and raised in a large close family concept, where the idea of unity has always been present, and he wanted to bring this understanding to all students, no matter where they are in the world.
Inspired by his work for the family’s non-profit organization “The Daily Dose Society”, Mayouba wants to use his art to create healing in our communities. In particular, Mayouba works with youth and communities to co-create art representing the magnificent chaotic orchestra of the shared human experience.
Being an ear to countless stories of suffering and hardship from people in recovery from substance use has largely widened his perspective in life and towards the long journeys through recovery. With this wish to gift to share of the Unity Mandala.
Mayouba hopes to create a healing symbol for those involved in the system and to bring students together for the greater good.
