Healing Through Giving: A Story From Behind the Canvas
This blog is dedicated to The Dandelion Philosophy‘s chief illustrator, Ramon Agulhas. Ramon is a core and invaluable member of The Dandelion Philosophy’s design team. In over one year with us, he has created countless illustrations, storyboards, and designs. Today, we would like to share his story about how he become a designer, defeated stigma and shame, and reignited his artistic expression. This is a powerful story of hope, bravery, courage, and resilience in a challenging world.
Understanding Change: A Story of How it All Started
“Things will always happen to us and sometimes happen for us. Either way, change is inevitable. But it is in embracing the change that we find ourselves, each other, and the healing we all need.” - Our founder, Nazeem Harvey, formed The Dandelion Philosophy after experiencing an emotional, yet eye-opening, trip to India in 2019, and volunteering to feed members from a desolate, disregarded community in South Africa during the Covid-19 pandemic. His travels profoundly affected his conceptualisation of life and death, and ultimately led to the formation of The Dandelion Philosophy.
