Welcome to the 100th episode of The Artist Pivot Podcast. In this special celebratory episode, I take you on a journey through my recent experience at the 30th Essence Festival of Culture in New Orleans. From soaking in the vibrant celebration of Black culture to gleaning wisdom from the legendary filmmaker Ava DuVernay, I share transformative insights and inspirations that are still resonating with me. I reflect on what Ava said about the importance of embracing the freedom and sacred ground of independent artistry, maintaining belief in one’s vision, and the empowering message that no one is coming to save you but yourself and the community you create. Here’s to 100 more episodes filled with inspiring conversations, hearty laughs, and deep dives into the life and art of being a creative. Cheers to creativity, perseverance, and the journey ahead!
