Tess Davies
My project for Hermès in Nashville was a huge deal for me. I was so excited creating the designs for those murals I could barely sleep. I love their brand and it was a real honor working with them. Read more>>
Gedalya Sloshay
Could I give everything my best, even if no one ever praised me for it? I’d love to say yes without hesitation, but the truth is, I’m human just like everyone else. We all need some form of approval or affirmation—it’s part of being alive and connected to others. When I perform music, it’s not just about standing on stage and playing notes. Read more>>
Grace Maher
Oh there are SO many things younger me needed to hear. But one that stands out to me right now in this conversation is, ‘Your dreams matter’. I used to daydream about so many things, including singing on a stage. But I had no real intention of ever doing it. Those were daydreams. Read more>>
ANNEMARIE PICERNO
You are worthy and have your own unique gifts!’ With millions of people in the world, no one individual is alike, though we tend to as society and across social media label people and things. To be different is not a curse, it is a blessing to stand out, explore new territories, and express yourself in ways only you can do. Read more>>
Dani Dyer
Absolutely. The version of me online is who I am in real life. I am as authentic as I feel you can be on socials and that’s on purpose. I have always used my platforms to help others but also to be an expression for myself to speak on things that really matter to me and share my unique but also relatable experiences. Read more>>
Joseph P. Day
Yes, my core values remain the same even before I ran for office. I remain true in all that I do by putting God first and letting the holy spirit guide me. Politics is not for the faint of heart and can get ugly. I learned very quick that many politicians are in it for prestige and personal gain. Read more>>
Alyssa Gangeri
What I’m most proud of building that often goes unseen is my team. The Butter Milk Ranch wouldn’t be what it is without the people who make it come alive every day. I don’t see them as being ‘below’ me, they are right beside me. Read more>>
Vincent Pitts
Suffering taught me FAITH. The late Frankie Beverly wrote in the song Joy and Pain, ‘….. there will be sorrow, but you will endure. Where there’s a flower, there’s the sun and the rain there. Read more>>
Elia Esparza
Wake up, drink tons of water and take my probiotic. I try to journal every morning, and do at least 3 pages non stop. then lymphatic drainage massage/ ice roll, light skincare. I’ll head to the gym and workout, stretch and sometimes sauna! And thats pretty much my every morning routine. Read more>>
Bernard Porter
Each morning, I start with gratitude, taking a moment to acknowledge the blessings in my life and greet the day with a calm, hopeful heart. I say a quiet prayer for guidance, strength, and clarity to navigate whatever comes my way, setting a positive intention for the hours ahead. Read more>>
Fadwa Ward
There were definitely some defining wounds that played a role in how I saw myself or what I thought I was capable of. I had someone very close to me speak lies over my gifts, my ability to create, and even what kind of future I could have. Read more>>
Mr. & Mrs. Fix-It
A normal day for us always starts with a much-needed cup of coffee before we wrangle the kids off to school. Once that’s done, the real work begins. Most mornings include analyzing the day’s job site, picking up materials, and checking in with our small crew, who often take on independent projects while we’re on another. Read more>>
PiPEllA
I have gotten really into TTRPGs (table top role playing games)! I am currently playing a level 5 Trickster Cleric in a D&D campaign and I’m a game master in a Dropout.tv themed one shot series. It’s very nerdy and I absolutely love it! Read more>>
Lucas Batten
This album, Mobilian Baby, took me about a year and a half to complete. I think a lot of people want artists to slow-drip singles as a way to draw attention and keep content steady, but I’ve realized that I don’t enjoy that. Having a complete project is what motivates me every day — it feels like it has a bigger purpose. Read more>>
Teneice Kirby
I feel that all are equally important. They are integral pieces to each other. Energy is the fuel for what is needed to be done. Intelligence is needed so you know how to move, when to move, where to move, and why you should move. Integrity mandates that you always conduct yourself in a manner that is beyond reproach.

Lisa Panagos
Integrity! Read more>>
JL Lawrence
My grandfather, Papa, had a tremendous impact in my life. In fact, you’ll see a similar character pop up in almost every book I write that depicts his character. He could see the creativity inside me long before I believed it existed. One of my biggest disappointments is that he never got the chance to see the amazing worlds that I now create. Read more>>
