Aly, a Black, biracial, Mad acrylic painter and visual artist, opens up about the journey of finding a community that harmonizes with their art and personal values. A conversation that drifts through complex feelings tied to bodily autonomy, integrity, and acceptance, we share a moment with Aly that emphasizes the importance of knowing that you can find a community that resonates with your artistry and individuality. Aly’s powerful narrative of body acceptance and positivity sends a compelling message to creatives across all hues - your body is yours, unfiltered, even at its most vulnerable.
Journeying down the road of the art business with Aly, we share the crests and troughs, and how critical self-belief and self-love are in that expedition. Aly’s narrative is not just about their art, but about finding and owning your voice, your people, your individuality. It’s about the redemptive power of art, the moments of beauty and recognition it offers on our darkest days. Aly candidly delves into their personal encounters with body acceptance, the perception of nudity, and how they challenge societal norms with their art to promote body positivity. This episode is about more than just art—it’s about finding your voice, your community, and your unique way of expressing yourself.
