Prior to hitting record, Brian Patacca of Brian Breaks Character asked me what I wanted to discuss, to which I responded, “I really want to talk about creative people making content.” And that’s exactly what we do in this episode.

We discuss the power of creative works and the responsibilities it has when it highlights marginalization – normalization of Black-centric art, queer-centric art, size inclusivity and diversity, and a plethora of backgrounds and life experiences. We address the innate places that we need to uncover in order to unlearn the prejudices we were taught. This conversation will challenge and flex your creative muscles, as it encourages you to create for change. Tune in for intimate stories and reminds us of the larger role that kindness and empathy plays in the entire journey.
