Tales of Our Sisters8. Are You Ready To Live A Creative Life?In today's episode, I found myself reflecting on the past 2 years since the pandemic hit, and how it forced us to look all around to see that life was more than unsatisfactory: we were deprived of truly living, and living creatively. My journey since then has been all about choosing myself and what this life has to offer, and leaning on heart and creativity more than anything else. This episode is for those of us still struggling to introduce the normalcy of play, creation, and imagination into our everyday lives. For those of us who had no c...2022-02-2340 min

Tales of Our Sisters7. Your Art Is Your First Love. Will You Nurture It?When we think about relationships, we inherently know the basics of how to keep them alive: provide attention, communication, growth, care, and love (to name a few). What if I told you there is a relationship between you and your craft, and there's a great chance the reason you feel so far away from it is that you aren't nurturing that relationship? It's become a burden, nagging you for not showing up for it. Your guilt is manifested in neglect because you can't bare to face the truth: you're scared to disappoint it. You know you're not putting in...2021-12-0835 min

Tales of Our Sisters6. When Is It Rest, And When Is It Fear?I've been away for a bit too long. And some may say I needed the break, while others (myself) knows any longer, and I might have quit. And while I advocate for quitting, I also stan for pushing through. Discernment is the key. And if you're not confident, confused, and unsure of which is which, a productive rest may be necessary. ...but what is that?

Tales of Our Sisters5. Will You Hold The Weight of Your Work?Work pulled me away, but it also brought me back. It's a beautiful thing that's been abused and soiled down, misunderstood, and seen as the enemy. But what if it's our relationship with work that's stopping us from doing it? What if work ain't so bad? What if we made peace with the truth, that we can run but we can't hide from the duties our purpose begs us to perform? What if we embraced the responsibilities of living this life? What if we let work bring us back to ourselves? Listen...2021-05-1226 min

Tales of Our Sisters4. Permission to Obsess And Dream And Create And And And—Okay, so... someone you look up to has granted you the permission to be your weird, romantic, dark, twisted self from the art they so shamelessly make and the baton they've passed.

Well, what about that?" In this episode, I (re)affirm your idols in reminding you that, yes, you really can create what you want. But what will it take to help you get...2021-03-1730 min

Tales of Our Sisters2. The Myth of Our Characters, a Kathleen Collins Masterclass“I am interested in how human beings evolve; a consciousness that is true to who they are in HERE. In the center of their being. I am interested in telling stories that give pleasure to the psyche.” —Kathleen Collins In this episode, I introduce to you all our monthly masterclass, where we visit key elements to telling a story from our ancestors of the arts. To kick it off, we study from the late filmmaker, playwright, poet, novelist, and professor Kathleen Collins, who passed way too soon but left behind bold work that explored the beauty of our Bl...2021-02-171h 00

Tales of Our Sisters1. Expression Is Our BirthrightIn our very first episode, we start our conversation on the ways we withhold our right to expression, particularly through our stories. Inspired by an essay written by Stephanie Fields, who theorizes how time hasn't always been kind to Black women storytellers of our past, I break down the truth of this thought, highlighting our greats and how they were not afforded the support, freedom, and confidence to be artists. How the fight to simply be killed them, whether in body, mind and/or spirit, right at the brink of true exploration. How we of this generation own the...2021-02-0331 min
