✨ The Super Power of being a Multi-Passionate Creative ✨ Jul 14, 2026

Show notes

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.

Hello, Beautiful Being.

You are not scatterbrained. You are multi-passionate. Are you an artist that struggles with finishing a project? Do you have a lot of interests and feel like you don't have enough time to complete your projects? Ever wonder why you never fit in boxes or categories? Do you struggle to choose a niche? Do you struggle to choose "just one thing"? Are you a Black woman creative who hops from one project to the next without finishing the last one? This episode of Black Girl Creative Podcast is for you. What if nothing is wrong with you? What if you were never the problem? What if you're gifted?

for the artist who's too tired to create anything... ✨ Nov 21, 2025

Show notes

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

Could following the rules be killing your creativity? Morning Pages, Fake Rules and Following Your Intuition Nov 06, 2024

Show notes

Dear Black Girl Creative,

Trust your creative process. follow your own intuition. I tried Julia Cameron's Morning Pages in The Artist's Way, and it no longer works for me. I thought I was a failure, but then I gave myself permission to trust my own process and follow my own creative intuition. Could following the rules be killing your creativity? Be messy.

Stay human. Let's talk about it on this week's episode of Black Girl Creative Podcast! much love, joy and creativity,

Show notes

Dear Black Girl Creative,

Disappointment sucks.

Let's talk about it.

Disappointment is inevitable as an artist. as an artist, you're allowed to be disappointed.

Feel the feelings.

There is no shame, here. Only love. This is how to deal with disappointment as an artist.

Embrace disappointment to create more human art. Be messy.

Stay human. Let's talk about it on this week's episode of Black Girl Creative Podcast! much love, joy and creativity,

your art is better than the algorithm. create whatever you want. May 10, 2024

Show notes

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.

Everyone won't like your art and that's a good thing. Have the Courage To Be Disliked. Jan 24, 2024

Show notes

Dear Black Girl Creative,

Everyone won't like your art.

This fact keeps so many of us creating.

So afraid of rejections, we don't share, or we only share what we think people want to see, feel and experience.

But what if people rejecting your art is not a bad thing?

What if it's actually a gift?

What if the rejection of your art is not the rejection of you?

Let's talk about it on this week's episode of Black Girl Creative Podcast! much love, joy and creativity,
