artists need more than applause. 👏🏾

they need resources.
they need visibility.
they need opportunities.
they need people who understand the value of their work.

and yes, they need to be PAID.

Before our students could talk marketing, they had to finish their brand mood boards.

Because choosing colors, images and aesthetics is the fun part. ✨ But Cydneyrai | Creative Coach pushed them one step further:

Who are you? What do you create? Why does it matter?

That’s where a mood board becomes more than a collage. It becomes a story.

Our students are learning that branding isn’t just about how something looks—it’s about what it communicates and how it makes people feel.

From “this looks like me” to “this tells people who I am.”

Now that is CREATIVE CURRENCY! 🪄🪄🪄

Some investments look like big checks. ✅

Some look like a student grabbing a snack before settling in to learn. 🍿🍎🧃

We’re incredibly grateful to Advancial Federal Credit Union for investing in ‘Creative Currency’ and making sure our students have snacks at every single session.

To us, it’s part of the work…

Because when we say we’re creating a space where young creatives can learn, imagine, build and belong, that means caring for the whole student. It means making sure they can walk through our doors, grab something to eat, get comfortable and focus on what’s in front of them.

For 10 weeks, our students are being poured into—and Advancial is helping us pour into them, too—for EVERY SINGLE SESSION! ✨

THANK YOU!!!!! Advancial

For many of our Founding Students, this was their first introduction to SMART goals.

Specific. Measurable. Achievable. Relevant. Time-bound.
And now?! LOOK AT THIS WALL! 😭👏🏾

A whole page of dreams with deadlines.
Ideas with intention.
Ambitions with action plans.

Because dreaming big is one thing. Learning how to make those dreams happen? That’s “CREATIVE CURRENCY!” 🪄🪄🪄

One sticky note at a time, we’re turning “one day” into “here’s how.”

There are a lot of things required to build “Creative Currency.”

🪄 Curriculum
🪄 Facilitators
🪄 Supplies
🪄 Food
🪄 Transportation
🪄 Funding

But there’s another resource that can be easy to overlook: space.

✅ A place to gather.
✅ A place to ask questions.
✅ A place to sketch the idea that’s been living in your head.
✅ A place to say, “Okay, but what if I…?”
✅ A place to listen to someone who has already built something (_kurtisj_) and realize that maybe you can build something, too.

Last week, that place was Kinship at Camp and we THANK YOU!!!

We needed the students AND they came.

They put their bookbags on the floor.
They found their names at the tables.
They opened their workbooks.
They met the people who would pour into them.

They talked. They listened. They questioned. They created. They began figuring out what it might mean to take the thing they love doing and see it differently: not only as creativity—but as currency.

And suddenly, the thing we’ve spent months calling Creative Currency wasn’t an idea anymore.

It was a room full of young people. 🪄🪄🪄

STORY TIME TUESDAY 💜 | And just like that…we assembled. 🪄

Before the first lesson.
Before the first assignment.
Before the first pitch.

We gathered. ✨
Students. Parents. Guides. Families. Community. ✨
For the very first Creative Currency Opening Assembly. ✨
And we didn’t want it to feel like an orientation. ✨

We wanted our young creatives to understand that they weren’t simply signing up for another program—they were entering a community intentionally built to invest in them‼️

So, after changing the heavy-dramatic-magical-music to tunes more familiar 😂, we did what we do and made it an experience. 💜

Our students discovered their Houses. 🏡
Our Guides were cloaked and made a commitment to share what they know generously. 🧙🏽🧙🏼‍♂️
Our students received their wands as a reminder of their own agency and ability to create. 🪄
Families witnessed it all. ✅

And somewhere between the laughter, the applause, the cloaks, the wands and the conversations, something we’ve been planning for months became real…

⬇️⬇️⬇️
🔟 young creatives are about to spend the next several weeks learning about branding, business, money, marketing, wellness, legal protections, asking for help—and the value of their own ideas.

But Creative Currency has NEVER just been about what we can teach them.

It’s about what happens when young people are surrounded by adults who say:
⚡️ We see you.
⚡️ We believe your ideas have value.
⚡️ And we’re willing to invest our time, knowledge and resources to prove it.

That was “Opening Assembly!”
And tonight?

The first official Creative Currency session begins. 🎉🎉🎉

The cloaks are on.
The wands have been received.
The Houses have been formed.

Now…

the work begins. 🪄💜

LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

We’re closing out IMPRINT this season with Taylor!

Sometimes, when life has gotten crazy, and you feel a little stuck or out of place- go back to square one.

In this beginner-friendly crochet workshop, Taylor is bringing that philosophy to you. We’ll slow things down and get back to the basics by learning how to make a classic granny square. No crochet experience necessary—just bring yourself and a willingness to learn.

Can’t wait to see you all!!! Link in BIO.
