Willie Baronet is an artist and advertising professor from Texas who creates art displays made from cardboard signs that he buys from homeless people across the United States. He believes each sign tells a unique story about the person holding it and says some "read like perverse poetry."
Willie humanizes the dehumanized of society by offering homeless people respect through conversation and the gift of being heard (along with some much needed money).
He teaches us to be more human.
He teaches us that it's wrong to pretend homeless people are invisible.
He teaches us that reaching out to people who make us uncomfortable is enriching.
He teaches us to listen to the stories of others.
And he teaches us that a little courage can change the world.
