“The Guardians project is so important for me because it’s my chance to say, hey, I was here, I did try my best to contribute, I left my mark, I left something behind to say I was a part of trying to make that change.”
Tayler Mugar is a poet, Certified Pharmacy Technician, and currently works at a hospital as a Patient Access Specialist II. Having grown up in West Baltimore, she has always admired activists, particularly Tupac Shakur and how he authentically and creatively described the struggle and his love for the betterment of black people through his music.
She has been a leader at Turnaround Tuesday, a non-profit organization which has helped over 800 citizens get livable wage employment, for six years. She has also assisted in creating a peace garden featuring public artwork in Harlem Park West with the organization The Mission Continues.
Tayler is currently authentically expressing herself through YouTube discussing Black mental health, spirituality, and healing. She is also working on a documentary about self expression in response to her connection to her city, community, and generation.
