Thank you to our incredible panelists for showing up and keeping it completely real.
@leighleroux@lola_aikins@anastatia_n@mothupi_omphile , you gave the room something to think about, something to feel, and something to go home and actually use. That is exactly what Conversations on Creativity is for.
And to everyone who came through to @mamakashakaandfriends on Saturday, thank you for being present, for asking great questions, and for making the room what it was. You are the reason we keep doing this.
See you at the next one. 🛠️

If you know someone with a skill or service to offer, recommend the Uptooyoo app to them. No service is too big or too small, there’s always someone who needs it.
