On this episode of Dangerous Creatives, Sharon discusses how she went from government teacher to instagram educator, sharing why we as humans feel we have to “pick a side” when it comes to politics (and life), and the one topic we should all care about no matter what side of the political spectrum we fall. Sharon and Kristin chat about how creatives tend to feel the weight of the world, which leads into the discussion of the the Charles Dickens quote "Mankind is our business".
