Respecting Perspectives

Send us a textWhat if the one question you’re avoiding is the key to momentum: are you having fun? Not the quick-hit, scroll-and-forget kind of fun, but the deep, sustaining kind that makes long nights in the studio feel like a privilege. This solo reset is a candid walk through AWALL's creativity, connection, and what it takes to turn today’s “impossible” into tomorrow’s normal.We start with the pressure of expectations—algorithms, rollout plans, and the myth of doing it all—then strip it back to what actually moves the work forward. I talk about letting my guard down, why certain people bring out better versions of me, and how to build bridges that turn into real collaboration. We dive into redefining success on your own terms, making a short list of what truly matters, and using a respectful refresh when the list gets noisy. There’s a video shoot, a growing album (FIRST CONTACT), and a reminder that every big win is a stack of small, consistent steps.If social content has you overwhelmed, I share a pragmatic way to choose formats that match your voice, repurpose moments you’re already living, and maintain a cadence that protects the spark. We also explore how “fun” evolves across life stages and why treating fun as a strategic resource—not a guilty pleasure—can keep your craft resilient. By the end, you’ll have a clearer lens for energy, a gentler definition of success, and a prompt to name your next “impossible.”If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a reset, and drop a review with your current definition of fun. Your words help this community grow and keep the conversation honest.Support the showWatch more episodes here: https://respectingperspectives.comALL AWALLARTIST SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/artist/39sD9CWOPR3FpdzHrJK80w?si=o8wu4ydBSdG--xlmG3566QAPPLE MUSIC: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/awallartist/1519132019 SOUNDCLOUD: https://soundcloud.com/awallartist IG: https://www.instagram.com/awallartist FB: https://www.facebook.com/AWALLARTIST X: https://x.com/awall_artistTIKTOK: https://tiktok.com/@awallartist

Send us a textWhat if the secret to a stronger music scene isn’t gear or clout, but connection? We sit down with engineer, educator, and Baltimore scene-builder Brandon Lackey to trace how he became a cornerstone of Lineup Room Studios, Bmore BeatClub, and the city’s bustling hip-hop ecosystem. From candid studio war stories to the classroom realities of teaching Brit lit, Brandon shows how taste, language, and access can turn scattered talent into an organized movement. We also explore his work with Beats Not Bullets and Label Necklace with MC Bravado, where the intersection of hip-hop and education gives at-risk youth tools, purpose, and community.We dig into the architecture of Bmore BeatClub—producers playing random beats, emcees jumping in blind—and why that controlled chaos forges collaborations that never would have happened in a typical showcase. Brandon breaks down the art of engineering as translation, where “warm,” “bright,” and “punchy” mean different things to different artists, and the real job is amplifying EMOTION. We talk phones, AI, and why old‑head gatekeeping misses the point: the youth are the "KEEPERS OF THE COOL" and one undeniable hit recorded on a phone can reset the industry overnight.On the business side, Brandon shares a simple marketing loop—launch three small bets, double down on the winner—and a human approach to venues and press that replaces spam with relationships. He maps the path from local underdog energy to broader visibility, and explains why giving more than you take builds trust that money can’t buy.If you care about mixing, scene-building, artist development, or just doing right by your city, this one is a blueprint you can use.

Send us a textThe moments that change your art often come from places that shift your focus. That’s the through line today as we sit down with Baltimore’s own Lil Webb to trace a creative life shaped by theater, forged in the studio, and anchored by a rare discipline most people never see. We get into how character work fuels performance and the surprising ways early stage roles and Shakespeare’s rhythms show up inside his flows.We also talk about the real cost of making something that lasts. Lil Webb breaks down the $20K he put into Whoracle (his 2023 album)—beats, mixing, mastering, features—and why an artist residency in Mexico City became the perfect container for deep work. From cabin studios to kitchen mic stands, we share the exact logistics that protect attention: what gear to bring, whether to drive or fly, how to plan headcount so lodging doesn’t sink your budget, and why “starving artist” is a myth that drains more careers than it builds. The takeaway is practical and hopeful: set a budget with buffer, build environments that reduce noise, and choose processes that honor your best work.On the creative side, we separate “making songs” from “making music.” Education matters—not as a credential, but as a toolkit for bending rules with intention. We dig into saturation, originality, and the hard truth that if you sound like someone famous, listeners will choose the original. The counter is identity: write from YOUR lived rooms, YOUR cast of characters, YOUR scenes. "Whoracle" sits inside a trilogy that ties the Great Depression to the pandemic—time looping, behaviors repeating—and that lens extends to money, too. Lil Webb shares why he invests in platforms he actually uses, treating ownership as both hedge and principle. We close with an honest charge to emerging artists: do the free work, keep showing proof, and protect belief. WINNERS WIN—so build a life that helps you keep WINNING.If this conversation sparked something, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs the push, and leave a quick review—your words help new listeners find us.

Send us a textCan one person’s choices ripple across a neighborhood, a coastline, even a culture? Steph Compton—organizer, zero-waste advocate, and movement lover—joins us to trace a path from Texas family roots and Interfusion Festival dance floors to door-to-door environmental wins and the everyday courage of saying “no” to single-use plastics.We get practical fast. Steph breaks down composting as a climate lever anyone can pull, how methane forms when food waste hits landfills, and where to drop scraps so they become soil or feed. She makes a clear case that plastic is oil in disguise, recycling isn’t the rescue we hoped for, and the real shift comes from reuse systems: bring-your-own containers, returnable takeout programs that track and wash, and the long-forgotten milkman model reborn with modern logistics. Along the way, a raw memory from an Ecuadorian beach—waves draping plastic bags around her ankles—turns into a spontaneous cleanup that kids joined on the spot, proof that visible action sparks participation.This conversation also honors the inner work. We talk co-regulation, breath, and why people who feel safe and connected are more likely to engage in sustainable habits. Steph’s “1% reduction challenge” is both humble and ambitious: skip one tank of gas a year, refuse one disposable item a week, choose one returnable container service. Multiply that by millions and the math moves. We weave in mushrooms, movement arts, and the joy of small wins—because lasting change needs both systems and spirit.If you care about practical sustainability, plastic-free living, composting for climate change, and building community resilience, you’ll leave with steps you can use today and stories you won’t forget.

Send us a textWhen bassist Wyatt Graham, affectionately known as “The Destroyer,” steps into the Watermelon Room for his podcast debut, you can bet it won’t be business as usual. True to form, he showed up breaking things — including his pants — but that same unfiltered energy is what makes him the force he is today.Wyatt dives into the ups and downs of finding your artistic rhythm in a world that glorifies shortcuts. From Uncle Kunkel’s One Graham Band to hopping between bass and mandolin, his story is as unpredictable as it is inspiring — proof that sometimes breaking a few things is how you build something authentic.This time-capsule quality of creativity becomes a powerful metaphor throughout our discussion, with AWALL noting that he preserves 300 notebooks of lyrics as his most precious possession – tangible proof that “I Was Here!"Perhaps most valuable is Wyatt's philosophy on consistency: "It takes 10 years to become an overnight sensation." Rather than chasing a single breakthrough moment, he commits to regular creation, even when inspiration isn't striking. "You just gotta hit it every day... those microaggressions against creative stagnation," he explains, reinforcing that artistic growth comes through persistent practice rather than sporadic brilliance.From childhood stories of 4-H camp and lifeguard adventures to rapid-fire questions about everything from sea urchins to pineapple on pizza, this episode weaves humor with a side of wisdom. Listen in as we explore what it means to create with purpose, balance individual growth with collective goals, and ultimately remember to "just be yourself " in a world that often forgets to breathe.Support the showWatch more episodes here: https://respectingperspectives.comALL AWALLARTIST SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/artist/39sD9CWOPR3FpdzHrJK80w?si=o8wu4ydBSdG--xlmG3566QAPPLE MUSIC: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/awallartist/1519132019 SOUNDCLOUD: https://soundcloud.com/awallartist IG: https://www.instagram.com/awallartist FB: https://www.facebook.com/AWALLARTIST X: https://x.com/awall_artistTIKTOK: https://tiktok.com/@awallartist

Send us a textWhat does it truly mean to become yourself? In this soul-stirring conversation with designer and spiritual seeker Pinki of Lighter Fluid Designs, we explore the profound journey toward authentic self-expression in a world constantly trying to define us.Pinki shares her transformation from Katie to the pink-haired creator she is today, revealing how early spiritual teachings shaped her understanding of life's purpose. "Our thoughts are prayers and we are always praying," she recalls from her youth—a philosophy that continues to guide her creative work and personal evolution.The conversation takes us through unexpected territory as we explore what happens when our spiritual foundations meet real-world challenges. From living on an unfinished sailboat in winter to creating a jacket for musical artist Jessie Reyez, Pinki's experiences illustrate how our most difficult moments often fuel our greatest growth. Her powerful tree analogy reminds us that our most important work happens beneath the surface: "The hardest working part of the tree is the roots—and you can't even see them."We dive deep into finding balance through seasonal living, listening to our bodies, and embracing the different versions of ourselves that emerge throughout life. Pinki's insights on commitment as "a constant choice" and her message to her younger self about craving depth in relationships will resonate with anyone who's ever felt like an outsider for wanting more meaningful connections.Whether you're on your own journey of self-discovery or simply curious about how creativity and spirituality can intersect to create a more authentic life, this episode offers fuel for your inner fire. As Pinki encourages: get to know yourself from a non-judgmental place and become a version of yourself you're proud of—it's a lifelong process worth embracing.Support the showWatch more episodes here: https://respectingperspectives.comALL AWALLARTIST SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/artist/39sD9CWOPR3FpdzHrJK80w?si=o8wu4ydBSdG--xlmG3566QAPPLE MUSIC: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/awallartist/1519132019 SOUNDCLOUD: https://soundcloud.com/awallartist IG: https://www.instagram.com/awallartist FB: https://www.facebook.com/AWALLARTIST X: https://x.com/awall_artistTIKTOK: https://tiktok.com/@awallartist

Send us a textWhat happens when you've lived your whole life with low vision, but refused to acknowledge what that means? Alex takes us on a journey through his experiences growing up as a self-described "mischievous kid" with visual impairment—from misunderstanding what "clear vision" truly meant until age 14, to the transformative moment when other blind people left him behind because he wasn't using a cane.Through candid stories and thoughtful reflections, we explore the realities of navigating daily life as a blind person. Alex shares practical insights about riding public transportation, finding restaurant bathrooms by listening for door sounds, and dealing with well-intentioned strangers who sometimes help without asking. His experience at the Louisiana Center for the Blind proved pivotal, teaching him that the limitations he faced weren't about blindness itself, but about societal barriers and lack of resources.Alex challenges common misconceptions about blindness with refreshing directness. No, blind people don't have superhuman hearing—they simply use their senses differently and more intentionally. When asked what beauty means to him, his answer reveals profound wisdom: "Think of the most perfect thing you can imagine... now you carry that and hit a wall, a little chip comes off. That's beauty—that little imperfection within the perfect."As someone who now works professionally helping others with vision loss, Alex's perspective bridges personal experience with broader advocacy. His message resonates beyond disability: be patient with yourself, find your community, and remember that giving to others ultimately enriches your own life.

Send us a textEver wonder what it takes to build a thriving creative community from scratch? Heidi Klotzman has been doing exactly that for two decades as the visionary behind HeidnSeek Entertainment, a Baltimore institution that's transformed how the city's diverse communities connect through events and experiences.What began as college nightlife promotion has evolved into a multifaceted enterprise with three distinct branches: VIP influencer events that pack new venues with tastemakers, talent booking that places musicians and DJs in exciting venues, and promotional campaigns that drive authentic engagement. Through it all, Heidi has maintained a singular focus on bridging divides in a city often defined by them."Everyone knows everybody," Heidi shares about Baltimore's tightly-knit creative ecosystem. "I love the diversity, the different neighborhoods and backgrounds." This appreciation for connection runs deep—from her childhood watching her concert promoter father's work to her teenage bat mitzvah where she intentionally brought together people from every imaginable background. These early experiences shaped her mission to create spaces where genuine cross-community relationships could flourish.The conversation reveals Heidi's practical business wisdom on "cross-collateralization" (balancing private events, public promotions, and talent booking to create stability), alongside vulnerable reflections on creativity and mental health. As she works on books about her father's entertainment career and her own journey, she emphasizes how self-care practices like acupuncture, meditation, and therapy form the foundation for creative success: "You can't be the you that you're destined to become if you're constantly trying to regain balance."Whether you're an entrepreneur seeking to build community-focused ventures, a creative looking to navigate the entertainment landscape, or simply someone who appreciates authentic Baltimore stories, this episode offers a masterclass in turning passion into purpose.

Send us a textThe path to artistic fulfillment rarely follows a straight line. In this deeply personal conversation, DJ and producer Ryan Delcher reveals his journey of transformation from The Binaural Project to his new identity as CATA-PILLA – a name inspired by the profound wisdom that "before you praise a butterfly, don't shit on a caterpillar."As Ryan and I reminisce about our early friendship forged in Baltimore's vibrant music scene, he opens up about finding his musical voice through hip-hop, punk rock, and eventually electronic music. His first rave experience in the woods of Pasadena, MD sparked a lifelong passion for bass music and drum and bass, leading him into DJing, production, and event curation throughout the East Coast.But the heart of our conversation explores something deeper – how becoming a father in 2020 transformed not only Ryan's personal life but his entire approach to creativity. Rather than seeing parenthood as an obstacle to his musical dreams, Ryan restructured his life, applying the Japanese concept of Ikigai to balance his roles as father, producer, and creative force. "I had to find that passion I had when I started making music," he explains, describing how clearing mental clutter became essential to accessing his creative flow state.Ryan's philosophy embodies the caterpillar-to-butterfly metamorphosis – respecting the process rather than fixating on flashy results. Through time-blocking techniques adapted from his production management experience, he demonstrates how artists at any life stage can nurture their passions while honoring their responsibilities.The authenticity in Ryan's evolution is palpable as he shares: "Make your life something worth being passionate about." His journey reminds us that sometimes we need our own metamorphosis to discover our truest expression. Whether you're a musician, parent, or creative seeking balance, this episode offers wisdom on respecting your journey's necessary transformations.Support the showWatch more episodes here: https://respectingperspectives.comALL AWALLARTIST SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/artist/39sD9CWOPR3FpdzHrJK80w?si=o8wu4ydBSdG--xlmG3566QAPPLE MUSIC: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/awallartist/1519132019 SOUNDCLOUD: https://soundcloud.com/awallartist IG: https://www.instagram.com/awallartist FB: https://www.facebook.com/AWALLARTIST X: https://x.com/awall_artistTIKTOK: https://tiktok.com/@awallartist

Send us a textRyan Bradshaw's journey from the club scene to becoming an amateur bodybuilder isn't just about physical transformation—it's about finding purpose, discipline, and a completely new identity.In this raw and revealing conversation, Ryan takes us through his evolution from a life of partying and drugs to becoming a fitness coach and content creator. "I knew that was the beginning of the end," he shares, reflecting on the moment he realized his lifestyle was unsustainable. The COVID pandemic became his unexpected catalyst for change, pushing him to finally pursue the physique he'd always imagined having since childhood.Ryan's insights go far beyond workout tips, diving into the psychology of transformation: "Muscles don't just automatically get you things—muscles show delayed gratification." He explains his philosophy of "gamifying life," treating personal development like leveling up in a video game. His three-part mantra—live beneath your means, pursue goals like your life depends on it, and treat yourself as a valuable asset—offers a framework for anyone seeking positive change.What makes this episode particularly valuable is Ryan's honesty about the mental health benefits of fitness. Having used exercise to overcome addiction and depression, he understands that "going to the gym is only 10% of your physique"—the rest comes from nutrition, sleep quality, and stress management. His practical advice on affordable healthy eating and balancing fitness goals with financial reality provides actionable guidance for listeners at any income level.Whether you're a fitness enthusiast or someone looking for motivation to make a life change, Ryan's story proves that transformation is possible with the right mindset.

Send us a textImagine building your own drum set at 10 years old because your parents wouldn't buy you one. That's exactly what Brian Potts did, fashioning drum pads from MDF and rubber, crafting stands from two-by-fours, and even creating makeshift cymbals from sheet metal signs. This early display of determination and creativity perfectly captures the essence of our guest on this episode of Respecting Perspectives.Brian takes us on a remarkable journey from his first time playing drums at his aunt's wedding when he was just four years old to becoming a respected musician, photographer, and studio owner. His passion for music eventually led him to establish HCD Studios, where he now builds much of his own professional audio equipment by hand – a skill that allows him to create high-quality recordings while saving thousands of dollars on expensive gear.When our conversation shifts to Brian's extensive world travels across 29 countries on five continents, we discover his profound perspective on the difference between tourism and true travel. "Tourism is going on vacation; traveling is immersing yourself in another culture," he explains. Brian makes a compelling case for solo travel as a transformative experience that builds self-confidence and brings you fully into the present moment. His philosophy that "the universe makes space for us" reflects the trust he's developed through countless adventures abroad.The most thought-provoking segment explores Brian's "levels of analysis" framework – a method for peeling away layers of understanding like an onion to reach deeper truths. Using this approach, Brian challenges listeners to question narratives, seek diverse perspectives, and resist outsourcing their thinking to others. Whether discussing history, politics, or personal growth, his message is clear: critical thinking requires us to be comfortable with complexity and willing to change our minds when evidence demands it.Join us for this illuminating conversation that will inspire you to build your own metaphorical drum sets, travel beyond your comfort zone, and dig deeper into the questions that matter most.

Greyson Brown—actor, musician, former firefighter, spiritual seeker, and world traveler—shares his remarkable journey of transformation and discovery in this thought-provoking conversation.Born in Germany to military parents and raised around the DMV area, Greyson's path has taken unexpected turns through corporate America, emergency services, creative pursuits, and spiritual awakening. His stories of traveling across continents reveal a profound truth: despite our different cultures and backgrounds, we're all seeking the same fundamental things—connection, purpose, and understanding.The conversation dives deep into the intersection of spirituality and personal growth. From his unique upbringing between his grandmother's Christian influence and his father's exploration of esoteric traditions, Greyson developed a perspective that transcends religious boundaries. His powerful insight that "you are the answers to your ancestors' prayers" challenges listeners to consider their place in a larger human story.Music emerges as a recurring theme throughout the episode. Both the host, Andrew, and Greyson reflect on how creating art becomes not just self-expression but a lifeline for others navigating their own struggles. When discussing his purpose, Greyson speaks with clarity: "to create music that allows other people around the world to learn spiritually, and just to have an outlet from whatever they might be going through."Whether you're questioning your life's direction, exploring spiritual practices, or simply seeking inspiration from someone who's walked many paths, this conversation offers wisdom that transcends the ordinary. As Greyson reminds us in his final thoughts: whatever challenges you're facing are temporary—like waves in water—making space for growth, joy, and new perspectives.Call our Respecting Perspectives hotline at 443-292-2677 to share your thoughts on finding purpose, spirituality, or any topics from this episode.Support the showWatch more episodes here: https://respectingperspectives.comALL AWALLARTIST SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/artist/39sD9CWOPR3FpdzHrJK80w?si=o8wu4ydBSdG--xlmG3566QAPPLE MUSIC: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/awallartist/1519132019 SOUNDCLOUD: https://soundcloud.com/awallartist IG: https://www.instagram.com/awallartist FB: https://www.facebook.com/AWALLARTIST X: https://x.com/awall_artistTIKTOK: https://tiktok.com/@awallartist

In this revealing conversation, Baltimore-based event curator and artist manager Will Gibbons opens up about his journey from construction worker to music industry maven.Will's brainchild, "Party for a Purpose," emerged during the pandemic as a way to blend art, music, and charitable causes in non-traditional spaces. With refreshing honesty, he shares both his triumphs and stumbles—from successful fundraisers that found a community member a kidney donor to financial challenges that taught hard lessons about event economics. "People always love to have a good time for a good cause," Will explains, capturing the essence of his mission.The discussion ventures into the nuts and bolts of music promotion, from street teams and grassroots marketing to the never-ending quest for sponsors. Will offers rare insight into what he calls the industry's "labor of love" dynamic: "You're spending twice as much time than somebody else on that same amount of money, but that time slips away because you're doing something you love."As Uncle Kunkel's One Gram Band's manager, Will reveals what makes the artist-manager relationship work: matching energy and staying realistic while dreaming big. His advice for maintaining balance resonates whether you're an artist, promoter, or fan: "Just because your calendar says you're open doesn't mean you're open."From geodesic domes at festivals to recording sessions at the Watermelon Room, Will's stories illuminate the creativity, community, and calculated risks that make Baltimore's music scene thrive. For anyone passionate about creating meaningful experiences through art and music, this conversation offers both practical wisdom and inspiring possibilities.Support the showWatch more episodes here: https://respectingperspectives.comALL AWALLARTIST SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/artist/39sD9CWOPR3FpdzHrJK80w?si=o8wu4ydBSdG--xlmG3566QAPPLE MUSIC: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/awallartist/1519132019 SOUNDCLOUD: https://soundcloud.com/awallartist IG: https://www.instagram.com/awallartist FB: https://www.facebook.com/AWALLARTIST X: https://x.com/awall_artistTIKTOK: https://tiktok.com/@awallartist

Send us a textStep into a world where the body becomes a canvas for healing, expression, and authentic connection with Katriella, a multifaceted artist who embodies the powerful intersection of yoga, music, dance, and sound therapy.From her first yoga class at age seven to her current work as a sound healer creating intentional frequency therapy, Katriella shares the transformative wisdom she's gathered along her artistic journey. Her revelations about how our bodies physically store trauma offer a revolutionary perspective—"most of your traumas are stored in your body, not your mind"—explaining why movement practices can succeed where purely mental approaches don't get to the root of the issue.Her personal testimony proves this principle. After struggling with health issues conventional medicine couldn't resolve, Katriella turned to somatic movement healing. Within a month, many of her health problems disappeared as movement reduced her stress levels, allowing her body to "rest, digest & repair" itself. Through her yoga teaching, sound healing work with collaborator Austin Litz, and expressive performance style that blends singing with dance, she demonstrates how artistic expression becomes a pathway to freedom.Perhaps most inspiring is Katriella's journey to authentic self-expression after experiencing judgment that made her "stiff" on stage during her high school years. Finding liberation through communities that celebrated rather than judged her expressiveness helped her reconnect with her true nature: "Wait, this is like what I've always been, but I've been hiding it." This permission to be fully expressive transformed not just her art, but her relationship with herself.Join us for a conversation that weaves together ancient wisdom with modern healing techniques, capped with a beautiful guided breathing visualization that will help you establish your own protective energetic boundaries. Whether you're curious about yoga, struggling with physical or emotional blocks, or simply seeking more authentic self-expression, Katriella's journey offers profound insights for your own path!

Our guest Chin-Yer embodies this powerful combination as a published poet, musician, radio host, and cultural curator in Baltimore.Born in England to Jamaican Rastafarian parents and raised in New Jersey before settling in Baltimore, Miss Chin-Yer describes herself as an "alien" who has transformed that outsider perspective into artistic strength. Her childhood immersed in music—watching her father perform in his reggae band and growing up surrounded by vinyl records—shaped her deep connection between words and melody. When early childhood trauma left her unable to speak, singing became her first form of communication, revealing the healing power of artistic expression that would guide her life's work.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when discussing creativity itself. "Writer's block does not exist," she declares with conviction. "What people suffer from is being too critical of what they put out." Her advice? Put "crumbs on the page"—even if it's nonsense—because like birds attracted to breadcrumbs, the muses will come once you've taken that first step. This practical wisdom demolishes the paralysis of perfectionism that prevents so many artists from creating.Her most visible contributions to Baltimore include founding the Baltimore Crown Awards, now in its 19th year, which celebrates everyone from community activists to musicians, giving them "their flowers in the form of crowns while they're living." Through The Black Mall marketplace and her radio show on WEAA, she continues uplifting talent and spreading positivity, deliberately countering negative stereotypes about her city.After exploring numerous spiritual traditions throughout her life, from Catholic schools to Buddhist monasteries, she arrived at a beautifully simple philosophy: "If God is love, that means love is God." This clarity mirrors her approach to creativity—finding the essential truth within complexity.Ready to be inspired? Listen now and discover how putting "crumbs on the page" might be exactly what your creative practice needs. Don't forget to follow her on IG @chinyer & @baltimorecrownawards .
