Kipp

Kipp is a 65-year-old female living in Long Beach. She had been a touring musician for almost twenty years when she became ill and started teaching guitar lessons. Her business was doing well until the pandemic hit; within two weeks, she lost all but one of her students. She is using some of the money to take a business course and buy a video camera to help launch her business. She said, "I have breathing room because, when you're stressed out, you end up holding your breath. Now I'm breathing, I'm flowing, I'm creating, I'm learning a lot of different stuff. The Breathe program has helped me on a lot of levels."
