Creativity & Parenthood

As I've went through life and my career, I've met many different people with various personalities. I've watched people progress through trial and error; I've watched others digress under the pressures of society. I've seen friendships grown from being introduced by a mutual acquaintance to someone I lean on constantly; I've had friendships that went from us being peas in a pod to realizing our mentalities belonged to two different gardens. Each one of these situations I've wished nothing but the best for them. I've said all that to say this: many of the people I've met had some hidden talent. Some showcased their talent more and others kept their talents tucked away like I did. Whatever the case may have been, as another creative and I got close, our talents meshed. We had the ability to critique each other knowing one another's strengths and weaknesses which gave us the chance to push ourselves to new heights and a broader perspective. The beautiful thing about these interactions was the dope conversations. So with this website I thought why not record some of these conversations and put them out there? Each one of my creatively-inclined friends was a unique individual in my eyes. With this, I wanted to try and hone in on this uniqueness, add the creative ingredients to it and chef up something to talk about.

Here is another convo I had with my dear friend Tempestt Williams. She is a dope photographer and graphic designer. We talk about how our respective creativity has changed since we've added parenthood to our life's resumé. I also take a slight jab at one of her featured model: her lightweight husband Reggie.
