The Founder, Ndubuisi Nduwhite Ahanonu, confessed to giving up at some point but held on due to encouragement from friends. In an interview with Yolar, Nduwhite makes known the plan of the center to duplicate her activities in other states of the country, thereby reaching out to other artists and harnessing their potentials.
