Just a bunch of creatives turning scraps into something cool ✂️

We had such a fun time at our junk journaling workshop with Jennifer Colboth, where creativity took center stage! From layering textures to turning everyday materials into something meaningful, everyone brought their own unique story to the page.

It was amazing to see how something as simple as scraps can turn into something so personal and expressive. 🎨

Huge thank you to Jennifer for sharing her talent and inspiring us to get a little more creative with the “junk” we usually toss away!

We had such a great experience having Malia Nix speak to AMA about the incredible work behind This Able Veteran.🐾🇺🇸

We got an inside look at what it’s like working in the nonprofit world, how veterans are paired with life-changing service dogs, and the dedication that goes into training each one. Hearing the impact these connections make was truly inspiring.

So grateful for the opportunity to connect and be part of such a meaningful conversation. 💙

We’re so excited to welcome Malia Nix to AMA! 🐾✨

A true mission-driven leader, Malia brings real-world experience across nonprofit, corporate, government, and education spaces. As Executive Director of This Able Veteran right here in Carbondale, she’s making a powerful impact by supporting veterans with PTSD through service dog training—work that’s both inspiring and deeply personal.

From growing volunteer programs to leading with purpose, Malia’s story is all about resilience, community, and meaningful leadership—and we can’t wait to learn from her.
