Born and raised in NY Marty ( Martin Medina) has taken his love for art & design and used it as a tool to help provide underserved communities with beneficial resources by founding Why Not Care and the LES United Festival. Why Not Care/Les United festival has provided over 3000+ book bags with supplies along with over 1000 care hygiene bags and 1000+ pairs of sneakers in less than 3 years of operation. Marty believes that creativity is a great platform to aim attention towards issues, people and communities that tend to get overlooked on a regular basis. Think to inspire and Why Not Care just a little more!
Martin is tending to “We Who Weave” by LeConté Dill.
