Delux turned a $1000 microgrant into 500 pairs of free Air Force 1s given out to kids in Jane and Finch, Rexdale, Malvern, Regent Park, and MaltonWelcome back to Creating Consciousness. Delux is a Jane and Finch–raised community leader, student psychotherapist studying Gestalt, founder of the Finding Your Heart initiative, and now runs his own production company after starting from an iPhone and borrowed cameras. We spend the whole episode on how someone with no roadmap actually builds something from the ground up: how he stumbled into community work through a court case that required volunteer hours.
