Creatively Exposed

Had a great chat with Ruth Ann discussing some of the complexities found in non profit work, community, and really thinking about being a citizen in the most active sense. Her book is a step by step on how we can really build upon community and work through and potentially on new systems that can sustain us in the long term. I appreciate the focus on possibility and actionable steps Ruth Ann provides. When creativity asks the right questions and offers some strategies. We also discuss AI as a tool and the ways and why of use. The T.R.U.M.P. (Together. Resilience. Unity. Mobilization. Possibility.) Anthology *trust me the tea behind the title is giving and it is all shade*All the details of Ruth Ann's work can be found here in her linkt.ree: https://linktr.ee/unlimitingyo...

Discussing some learnings as I just completed a workshop! Tips to my fellow creatives Don't forget you are magic Pa Bliye ou se Majik No te olvides que tu eres magia I didn't say it the end but ✨

Hello ya'll a part two to the last episode. Let's get into the importance of creativity.  Blogging / discussing on Substack my episode  https://www.spreaker.com/episo...-65920734 Funny enough I had already blogged earlier this month but I had more things to say and reiterate  Creativity is a language to be discovered within us. Based on a conversation and something I have been ruminating on.  Many people disregard their possibilities of what that language is. What is our kind of self expression. The magic of creativity lies within us. In this most recent episode I ask for those who think they aren't creative to reconsider it may exist different than their idea of what creativity has been boxed in to be. Astrologically every chart is tailored. We all have our specific ways of being and expressing. Very much planning on opening my books to have this conversation with those curious to unlock this within them, reconnect to it, or see this in any endeavors someone is working on.  #substack #blog #newsletter #creatives #podcast  do you consider yourself a creative?https://lyszflo.substack.com/p...https://open.substack.com/pub/... like what you heard at the end of the episode?

I've been thinking and seeing this for a while—people saying they are not creative. But I wish to reconfigure that idea or thought process. I start with definitions of my own and the actual dictionary, What say you?

Let's talk about the intersections of making art that is hella uniquely you. The things I've enjoyed as a creative and celebrating creative wins of my favorite artists.
