    Everyone won't like your art and that's a good thing. Have the Courage To Be Disliked.

    Everyone won't like your art and that's a good thing. Have the Courage To Be Disliked.

    Dear Black Girl Creative,


    Everyone won't like your art.

    This fact keeps so many of us creating.

    So afraid of rejections, we don't share, or we only share what we think people want to see, feel and experience.

    But what if people rejecting your art is not a bad thing?

    What if it's actually a gift?

    What if the rejection of your art is not the rejection of you?

    Let's talk about it on this week's episode of Black Girl Creative Podcast!

    much love, joy and creativity,

    Alecia

    Quitters do win: You're allowed to quit | Black Girl Creative Podcast,

    Quitters do win: You're allowed to quit | Black Girl Creative Podcast,

    Dear Black Girl Creative,

    🌈 Join The Garden: ⁠https://aleciarenece.me/jointhegarden⁠
    Welcome to day 5 of Black Girl Creative Retreat week!

    You are allowed to quit.

    "Quitters never win and winners neve quit" is a quote coined by Vince Lombardi.

    We say it often, but is it true?

    Actually, quitters DO win.

    What if quitting creates more room for you to win, to thrive and to live with joy?

    Let's talk about how quitters do win.

    much love, joy and creativity,

    Alecia

    🌈 Day 5: "steal like an artist". create from gratitude. | Black Girl Creative Retreat Week

    Dear Black Girl Creative,

    🌈 Join The Garden: https://aleciarenece.me/jointhegarden
    Welcome to day 5 of Black Girl Creative Retreat week!

    Today we're talking about how we should "steal like an artist" by using inspiration as permission and as fuel.

    No one is self made. there's nothing new under the sun.

    Let's celebrate and hang out to talk about it.

    much love, joy and creativity,

    Alecia

Thank you

Thank you for creating this podcast and being so incredibly REAL about the highs, lows, and in betweens of being a Black girl creative. Ive been feeling disconnected and discouraged regarding my art and my impact and this podcast is literal medicine for my heart. Im hopeful, encouraged, and so grateful for these episodes.

Keeping it real

This was the first time I heard someone keep it real about burnout within black women and not try to cover it up by providing helpful tips that put a Band-Aid on the symptoms. She kept it real during the podcast and validated my feelings about black excellence being a scam. Thank you so much for saying what others are afraid to say. You gained a listener in me.

Intrigued

So, I haven’t listened to any podcast shows in over 7 years, literally! I was actually invited to share my story on another podcast & that’s coming up in a week. So after being invited onto a podcast show, I’m not interested in the podcast world. As algorithm does what it does, I come across this podcast & literally only listened to the 3 min segment & I’m immediately intrigued! I’m so inspired & had to move in the moment & share this review! Can’t wait to hear more segments! Thank you for being authentic & empathetic!
