Dear Black Girl Creative,

Trust your creative process. follow your own intuition. I tried Julia Cameron's Morning Pages in The Artist's Way, and it no longer works for me. I thought I was a failure, but then I gave myself permission to trust my own process and follow my own creative intuition. Could following the rules be killing your creativity?

Stay human.

Dear Black Girl Creative,

Disappointment sucks.

Let's talk about it.

Disappointment is inevitable as an artist. as an artist, you're allowed to be disappointed.

Feel the feelings.

There is no shame, here. Only love. This is how to deal with disappointment as an artist.

Embrace disappointment to create more human art.

Stay human.

Dear Black Girl Creative,

So, you want to be a full time artist? Wonderful! Let's talk about the pros and cons of being a full time, independent artist. I'll share my own experiences and use them to help you better decide if full time artistry feels right to you.

Stay human.

Dear Black Girl Creative,

You are better than the algorithm.

This is a Black Girl Creative Rant about Capitalism, Creativity and Social Media, and why it's so hard to be creative online.

I don't wanna create for an algorithm.

I just wanna make stuff.

You are better than the algorithm.

Don't let is take your humanity.

Capitalism ruins everything, but don't allow these algorithms to control you. share your art.

Share your heart.

Be messy.

Stay human.

Dear Black Girl Creative,

This fact keeps so many of us creating.

So afraid of rejections, we don't share, or we only share what we think people want to see, feel and experience.

But what if people rejecting your art is not a bad thing?

What if it's actually a gift?

What if the rejection of your art is not the rejection of you?

Let's talk about it on this week's episode of Black Girl Creative Podcast!

Dear Black Girl Creative,

You don't have to know what you're doing to get started.

Start Messy. Just start.

Your Dreams are your guides. Allow them to lead you.

You are allowed to quit.

"Quitters never win and winners neve quit" is a quote coined by Vince Lombardi.

We say it often, but is it true?

Actually, quitters DO win.

What if quitting creates more room for you to win, to thrive and to live with joy?

Let's talk about how quitters do win.

Dear Black Girl Creative,

Today we're talking about how we should "steal like an artist" by using inspiration as permission and as fuel.

No one is self made. there's nothing new under the sun.

Let's celebrate and hang out to talk about it.
