Creative Conversations with Briana Elmore

In this episode Briana speaks with rapper, musician, writer, and producer, Quari Banks. Quari is an innovative musical artist who uses his work to not only act as a cathartic expression for himself individually, but also as a means to give others permission to work through the trials and triumphs that life gives you. We talk about the importance of evolving as a creative. As you create organically, your art begins to create new norms and curate new spaces for others to consume your work.
