Combine that with Leroy’s dynamic art and the engaging talks he provides to kids the event becomes a creative learning experience for all.” Leroy Campbell explains, “I have been blessed with the passion and ability to express myself through art and additionally I am honored to be recognized as an inspirational educator for students across the world.
