In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Christopher Smith, creative director and storyteller for the Arkansas Colleges of Health Education (ACHE). A Fort Smith native and founder of the Soul Society brand, Christopher shares how his work with ACHE is helping to redefine healthcare education through storytelling, creativity, and connection. He opens up about the importance of Black representation, his transition from barbering to branding, and how Fort Smith plays a central role in his mission to inspire, uplift, and inform. A powerful conversation on purpose, place, and using creativity for change.
