    Ep 31: You Don’t Need a Huge Budget—You Need a Clear Vision

    So many creatives wait for “more money” before they start. But here’s the truth—you don’t need a huge budget. You need a clear vision.

We’ll talk about: ✅ Why vision is more important than funding ✅ How to get creative with the resources you already have ✅ Stories from my own journey of doing more with less ✅ How to move forward confidently even when finances feel limited If you’ve been waiting for “enough” before you begin, this video will encourage you to start now. 💬 Share in the comments: What’s one dream you’re holding onto because of budget worries? 🔔 Subscribe for more tips on building with vision, not just resources. 📌 Follow me on Instagram & TikTok: @LeighaTPorter 🌍 Learn more about my work: leighatporter.com

    Ep 29: Why Preserving Culture Is Just as Important as Creating It

    When we think of creativity, we often think about making something new. But what about protecting and honoring what already exists? Preserving culture is just as important as creating it—and in many ways, the two go hand in hand. In this video, I’m sharing why I believe cultural preservation should be a core part of every artist’s journey and how honoring our history actually strengthens our creative future. We’ll talk about: ✅ What it means to preserve culture in your work ✅ Why artists are powerful cultural storytellers ✅ The balance between innovation and tradition ✅ How culture connects generations and communities If you’ve ever wondered how to make your work meaningful beyond just the moment, this is the conversation for you. 💬 Tell me in the comments: How do you preserve culture in your own creative work? 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe for more conversations on culture, creativity, and community. 📌 Follow me on Instagram & TikTok: @LeighaTPorter 🌍 Learn more about my work: leighatporter.com

In this video, I’m sharing how I’ve learned to practice confidence as a dancer, leader, and entrepreneur. Because the truth is, even when doubt creeps in, you can train yourself to stand taller and own your journey.
