When do you feel most purposeful?
Q. When do you feel most purposeful?
A. There’s a triangulation of community, creativity, and education or mentorship where I feel my best. My roles as an artist, an educator, a creative manager, a collaborator, and even just as a friend get satisfied by these pillars and are the core reason I do any of this. I care about people, creativity fuels me, and am committed to a lifetime of learning. From hard life moments to working through creative blocks, the moments when conversations emulate finding sparkle in the dirt are my favorite. These are the times I exercise my two strongest and most inherent parts of self: curiosity and empathy. Letting both drive, along with experience and care, lead me into helpful moments of discovery with folks more often than you’d think. It’s that intentionality that enriches my life and work, by helping others in areas big and small.
