SUN aka The Real Sun

SUN

“life is like a walk along the beach, no matter how you step, you will leave a footprint behind; the only thing you have control over is the directions your footprints lead, and the understanding of where they come from”

SUN is the Creator of ‘The Real Sun’ Social Enterprise, which is a manifestation of her passion, drive, talent, and purpose in life channeled into Art, Healing, Social Justice, and Education. These four things are the pillars and foundation of everything SUN does, is, and creates. ‘The Real Sun’ was launched in 2009.

SUN was originally born in Anyang, Korea, and is now a proud resident of Jane-Finch, Toronto, by way of Peterborough and Kingston (Canada).

Social Justice is at the core of SUN’s approach to Art, Healing, and Education. She views each one of these elements as necessary components for creating positive and sustainable social change.

As an artist SUN channels deep expressions of her soul through various artistic mediums of Performance Arts as well as Visual Arts; including Spoken Word Poetry, Rap, Song (Acoustic Soul), Theatre, Painting/Drawing, and Graphic Design. Though the artistic mediums may vary, the contents of SUN’s creations all have one thing in common, they are messages molded with consciousness, awareness, and purpose, rooted in energies of the heart and spirit.

As an educator SUN teaches in community settings as well as in schools, and has taught youth from a wide spectrum of ages, races, and socio-economic backgrounds. From community centers in Jane-Finch to private school in downtown Toronto to providing Professional Development for Artist Educators and Teachers in the public school system, SUN’s approach in the classroom is centered around inclusivity, openness, and honesty. By centering on issues related to social justice, SUN encourages learners to explore and honour their own truths, and give voice to untold stories, through art, poetry, and the creative process.

SUN believes that healing is a key element in creating positive social change, and one that is not often prioritized enough in our day to day and in the community. One of SUN’s goals is to help make alternative healing modalities more accessible to artists, community workers, people of colour and low-income communities, with the understanding that the movements we build for the future cannot be healthy if the people who are building the movements are not healthy. SUN is a certified Reiki Practitioner, and is currently Training at the Integral Healing Centre of Toronto in the disciplines of Psychotherapy, Bio-Energetics, and Energy Healing.

SUN holds a BA Honours in International Development Studies, and is actively engaged in community and grassroots initiatives and movements, such as Lost Lyrics and Nomanzland. SUN defines success not in terms of economics or status, but by the level of love, laughter and support in one’s life. SUN is dedicated to spreading radiant energies of the heart to help bring balance and empower positive changes though art, healing, education and social justice.
