Black Girl Creative: Reignite Your Artistic Dreams and Make Them a Reality for Creative Black Women

For Black Girl Creatives Who Feel Like Giving Up: Self Care as a Black Woman Artist, Creative Entrepreneur, Multipassionate Artist | Creative Pep Talk, Depression Black Woman, Holistic Well Being Mar 15, 2021

Show notes

Dear Black Girl Creative Who Feels Like Giving Up and Quitting,

me too.

You feel like quitting your art.

When should you give up and quit? Why have you lost your creative spark? Do you feel like you're not good enough?

On this episode of Black Girl Creative Affirmation, we talk about why it's okay to not be okay, toxic positivity, and how to take care of yourself when you're depressed, anxious or exhausted, what to do when you're unmotivated, and more.

You can be a successful artist and still struggle with mental health. S

elf care as a creative is so important.

Always remember, You're worth way more than what you create.

Love and Joy,

Alecia

Why being a Bad Artist Makes You a Good Artist: Be Prolific not Perfect, Enjoy the Creative Process, Perfectionism and Fear of Failure, How to be Creative, Black Girl Creative Mar 10, 2021

Show notes

Dear Black Girl Creative,

Do you struggle with perfectionism?

What if I told you that being a mediocre artist actually makes you a better artist? Would you believe me?

It's time that we stop trying to be perfect, and really just aim to be prolific.

We should be okay with our work being average, imperfect and bad.

This is the stuff that will help us enjoy the process to become better artists, musicians, singers, writers, and Black girl Creatives in general.

How can you be mediocre today?

Love and Joy,

Alecia

Don't Worry About Tomorrow. You Have Everything You Need Already. | Hustle and Grind Culture and Trusting God, Matthew 6:33, Will God Take Care of Me? | Black Girl Creative Pep Talk | How to trust God Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

Dear Black Girl Creative,

I am struggling with trusting God. Maybe you can relate.

I don't want to hustle anymore, or stress myself out because I don't trust God.

I struggle with believing that God will take care of me because I've felt so let down by God in the past.

Now, I'm open to allowing God to show me that He's trustworthy.

Even as a Black Girl Creative in Recovery.

Check out Matt. 6: 25-33

Love and Joy,

Alecia

The Beauty in Being a Bold Black Woman w/ Creative Entrepreneur Tankeaka | How to Build a Heart Centered Business Online | Follow Your Dreams | Intuitive Living | Self Care for Business Owners Mar 03, 2021

Show notes

Dear Black Girl Creative,

"If I come back, I want to come back as a Black Woman."

In this special episode of Black Girl Creative, I have the pleasure of conversing with creative entrepreneur and business owner, Taneaka. Taneaka owns Skeletons in My Closet.

In this conversation, Taneaka and I discuss...

what love we have for being a Black Woman and what love we have for Black women
Colorism within the Black Community
The importance of Self Care
Creating a Heart Centered Business for Black Women
Stepping out on Faith and Trusting God in the Process
Why you should just "Go for it"
Why you shouldn't wait to be perfect before you start
Why you should always follow your inklings and inner intuitions
Why being broke shouldn't stop you

And she leaves you with the question, "Why are you NOT doing it?"

Overall, this is an interview for Black Women Creators in every regard. This refreshing and fun conversation will leave you feeling inspired and proud to be or know a Black Woman Creative.

When You Shine, We All Shine. So Take Up Space... Unapologetically | Be Courageous Enough to Be All Of Yourself | Why You Are A Gift | Black Girl Creative Pep Talk | Black Woman Artist Entrepreneur Mar 01, 2021

Show notes

Dear Black Girl Creative,

Do you struggle with taking up space? Have people told you that you were too much? Do you worry that if you shine, you'll take the shine away from others? Do you deal with doubt and fear? Imposter syndrome? Do you worry that you're not as good as you think you are?!

Do you worry about promoting yourself?

ME TOO!

Take my hand. Let's talk this through TOGETHER.

Shine, Sis. When you shine we ALL shine.

Unapologetically take up ALL the space. It's God given. What is for you, is for you.

There's nothing to apologize for.

Take up space. It's beautiful.

Love and Joy,

Alecia

Dear Black Girl Creative,

Your dreams don't die at 30. Just because you've "grown up" doesn't mean you have to give up on your dreams.

In this episode, I share with you strategies and questions to ask yourself when you're trying to rediscover and recover your dreams, goals and creativity.

You may even discover a creative business for all my creative entrepreneurs out there.

Love and Joy,

Alecia
