As a โ€œpleasure activist,โ€ Becky believes activism should inspire excitement, not dread. Working with The Center for Artistic Activism, she shifted from passion-driven projects to strategic efforts with measurable goals. This transformation profoundly impacted her project, Texorcism, turning it from a loosely defined idea into a powerful ritual that engaged participants emotionally and inspired action.

One example involves a local business owner who, after attending Texorcism, transformed from anxious to energized and ready to act. The experience demonstrated the power of blending art and activism to mobilize practical change. Becky credits C4AA with building her confidence to embrace unconventional methods, showing that bold experimentation can lead to significant impact.
