Machaila Gray

“I aspire to embrace my creative instincts more.”

“Didn’t quite nail it or didn’t entirely tick the box? Why not give it another go? This past year, I committed to enthusiastically saying ‘Yes!’ to tiramisu whenever possible, and I believe I did fairly well, yet I never managed to create my own rendition of the traditional Italian treat. Therefore, I’m returning for year two to take another shot….of espresso!”

Jannell Summers

“I aspire to become physically more robust to confront my adversaries and inner demons, should it be necessary.”

Andrea Haydon

“I have numerous New Year’s aspirations for 2025 – notably acquiring new abilities – one being stained glass. This is an artistic medium I am incredibly eager to master as it’s a form of art that I haven’t engaged with, given that my focus has primarily been on 2-dimensional work.”
