We’re so excited to introduce one of the incredible humans guiding this journey 💫

Meet Natia Howell (they/them/she/her), our Elevate Creativity facilitator for the next 9 weeks.

We’re beyond grateful to have her leading this space. At her core, Natia is all about building genuine community and creating spaces where people feel comfortable showing up as they are.

She brings years of experience as a trauma-informed youth leader, along with a deep passion for wellness, creativity, and connection. You might also find her hosting yoga classes, community circles, or leading her weekly walking group, St. Pete Cruisers—a space where you’re invited to take “whatever you need, at your own pace, in good company.”

Natia creates an environment that feels safe, relaxed, and open—where curiosity is encouraged and there’s no pressure to be anything other than yourself.

Teens — this is your space to explore, create, and grow. We’re so excited for you to experience it with her.

This past Saturday, we officially launched Elevate Creativity — our 9-week journey designed to expand what creativity can be and support teens in building a sustainable creative practice of their own. 🎨✨

To our teens stepping into this space: this is yours. Your ideas, your voice, your expression — we’re here for all of it. These next 9 weeks are about exploring who you are, what you create, and how you want to show up in the world. Let’s go!!! 💥

Huge thank you to .art for sponsoring our kickoff and creating a space that sparks curiosity, imagination, and exploration — the perfect way to begin this journey.

And deep gratitude to and the for believing in this vision and helping bring it to life. 🫶

Thank you .monti for capturing this special day and supporting our mission every step of the way!

What started as a dream within our community — creatives of all ages sharing their wisdom, experiences, and art — is now something real. Built FOR the community, BY the community, and centered on the wellbeing of every young person involved.

First cohort… it’s your time. Let’s create something powerful together. 🔥

See you there!!! 🎨✨🤩

We’ll have fun music and a DJ, great vibes, plus creative stations where you can make Valentine’s Day cards for yourself, loved ones, or our youth program participants in foster care 🥰

All leftover clothing will be donated to CASA’s thrift store, supporting local domestic violence survivors 💜

All funds raised will help make our upcoming expressive arts program, Elevate Creativity, free for foster and under-resourced youth right here in St. Pete.
