ABOUT US

The #ThisIsLife movement was founded in Chicago by mother-son duo Natalie Manning & Dorian "D.A." Adams at age 11. The idea was originally launched over 9 years ago. They wanted to create a safe space for Dorian and his peers to share their talents amongst one another and their communities. It has been a major success!
