    ✨ The Super Power of being a Multi-Passionate Creative ✨

    Hello, Beautiful Beings! As a multi-passionate creative, you have super powers. This is part 2 of my multi-passionate artist series. Are you multi-passionate? Do you get overwhelmed and burned out easily... even when you love what you create? Are you juggling multiple projects at the same time? Do you get burned out easily? Maybe you don't need more discipline, maybe you need more joy, more play and more fun. I hope this episode of Black Girl Creative Podcast frees you from the need you feel to be easily understood, palatable, rigid and "productive". Let's talk about how companion planting is used in nature to avoid depleting the soil and how we can take that wisdom and apply it to our creative practice. Having hobbies and creative practices that are just for your joy are healing, protecting and nourishing your soul. Do you feel scatterbrained? Do you feel like you have too many interests and not enough time? Do you find it impossible to niche down or "just pick one thing"? You may be multi-passionate. Your multiple interests serve you well. Your adaptability, curiosity, quick learning, and multiple passions are your creative superpowers. "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." - William Shakespeare There's nothing wrong with you. You are gifted and perfect the way that you are. You are loved. You are sacred. You are EVERYTHING good. 📚 Book Recommended: "Refuse to Choose!: Use All of Your Interests, Passions, and Hobbies to Create the Life and Career of Your Dreams" by Barbara Sher 🎞️ Movie Recommended: The Lego Movie 🌈More Black Girl Creative Episodes I recommend: ✨You are not scatterbrained.

    for the artist who's too tired to create anything... ✨

    Hello Beautiful! This episode of Black Girl Creative Podcast is for my fellow artists who don’t feel like creating anything right now. This episode is for artists and creatives that are too tired, too grievous, too heavy, too burned out, too sad, too overwhelmed to create anything. It’s okay if you don’t create anything right now. It’s okay to be tired. It’s okay to rest. Rest is essential to creativity and rest CREATES.Every season ain’t for creating and doing. Let’s talk about seasonal living and creating, honoring our boundaries, resting and working through “creative blocks”. As Autumn makes way for winter, slow living does well for us slower, feeling artists. Trust your creative timing and rhythms. Inspiration will come around again.It is safe to rest. It is good to rest. It is necessary to rest. You are a human being, not a machine. You are safe, here. Rest.You are loved. You are sacred. You are EVERYTHING good. much love and joy, Alecia 🌈 A Human Being Can Absolutely Burn Out • Black Women Healing 🤎✨ by  @glamazini  : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLznJq347FU🌈 "White Masculinist Imperialism" Coined by Janell Hobson (thank you  @Got2BOshun  )🌈 (I really enjoyed this!)

    your art is better than the algorithm. create whatever you want.

    Dear Black Girl Creative, You are better than the algorithm. This is a Black Girl Creative Rant about Capitalism, Creativity and Social Media, and why it's so hard to be creative online. I don't wanna create for an algorithm. I just wanna make stuff. You are better than the algorithm. Don't let is take your humanity. Capitalism ruins everything, but don't allow these algorithms to control you. share your art. Share your heart. Be messy. Stay human.
