We continue “The Creative Culture” with Reyna Noriega, a visual artist and author based in Miami, Florida. Reyna has been steadily rising to prominence, with her work appearing on covers including Science Magazine and The New Yorker.

Having previously explored various mediums, techniques, and expressions – Reyna has developed her distinct way of depicting vibrant, joyful women of color. As we continue exploring creativity, Reyna shares what it’s like to sustain a life as a creative entrepreneur.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• Reyna’s career journey that brought her to creative entrepreneurship
• How one balances working with inspiration vs. discipline
• Why Reyna canceled her plans to move abroad and what that meant for her career
• How the racial reckoning both supported and opposed Black creators
• The role social media has played in Reyna’s career
