Episode 7 | Creativity & Social Tension
Y’all, this was a tough one. We tried to stay focused on how creativity can help us navigate social tension while leaving our own opinions and biases out of the conversation. In this episode, you’ll hear us stumble to find the right words, struggle to speak through tears, and wrestle with our own inflammatory instincts. We forgot to say things we wanted to mention. We’ll probably step on some toes. Still, I hope you find some comfort in our imperfect conversation. We are grateful for you!
In this episode...
- How creativity can help us navigate social tension
- Harmony is the balance between unity and diversity
- The importance of gathering various sources for inspiration
- Painting with a broad brush vs. taking time to find nuances
- Creating vs. consuming... take the time to do something that has a positive impact on the world around you
