#38: You’re a Creative Genius, Boo
In this week’s episode I'll show you what the Empowered Creatives framework looks like in real life. And how my support can help you make this process so much easier. You’ll see how my framework will work at the Ghana Art Retreat, and how to apply the framework to your every day lives. This episode is all about how to implement and put the pieces together.
To illustrate how the framework looks in real life let me share a story.
I remember when things first shifted for me in Ghana. I was working with one of my mentors who loved to paint outside his house. He’d watch me paint, make suggestions, and then work on his stuff. He was pretty popular, so others would come and paint alongside him outside. And at the time, I was pretty nervous about painting alongside all these talented artists in Ghana. I had a lot of anxiety about my painting skills even though I had a BFA.
Then one day, while we’re painting outside, I see a rooster. I decide I want to paint him even though I usually only paint people. I just felt so in flow, so I painted for 30 minutes. And at the end, I took a good look at what I created and thought, “Damn, this is a bomb painting!”
I felt so proud and powerful because I had this inside of me.
I want you to feel that too. I want you to have that moment where you realize how amazing you are as an artist, and you truly see the potential of your gifts. If no one else told you this, let me be the first to say that YOU’RE A CREATIVE GENIUS, BOO! This episode will show you how to have that breakthrough moment when you recognize how dope you are.
If you want to go deeper, I’d love for you to join me at The Empowered Creatives Retreat in Ghana. I’ve curated the experience to give you all the things you need to have that moment where everything is good and you’re not worried about anything else.
