Reflect. Rebel. Restore. (why your art always matters)

About this episode

Dee and Vee explore the significance of creating art with empathy and its role in community building.

What does it mean to create with empathy? In this episode, Dee and Vee challenge the notion that art must always address trauma; exploring how creative expression serves as both a mirror to the world and a balm for the soul during turbulent times. And how honoring your individual capacity can build stronger communities.
