Melanie Posner Instagram – When looking at this mural you wouldn’t know that it’s unfinished. It was supposed to have a tagline at the top that read “It takes every community,” with a QR code that led to The Ryan White Care Council’s website. This mural was fully funded by this organization to raise awareness and beautify the community. Unfortunately the building owner of where this is located changed his mind mid project (because he donated his wall to us) and I had to stop painting. We sadly had to leave this project unfinished for 6 months. All this time- behind the scenes- despite getting threatened for trespassing or defacing property if I finished the mural, I fought so it could be complete. The message in my art is so important to me. I wanted to portray diversity, inclusivity, and togetherness. With the state that Florida is in right now we need that more than ever. So after blood, sweat, and tears I’m glad I could finally come back and leave the neighborhood with this. Always fight for what you believe in 🫶🏼It’s located on the side of Nicko’s Pizza in DTSP ❤️ Please note that the pizza shop was in equal outrage as me, they just rent from the building owner, and you should go support them.
