The Collective is back from our brief hiatus with fabulous new guests to focus on creation. What happens when things begin to dismantle or dissolve? Although, things need to collapse before the larger reconstructions can begin, you still need to create plans. You need hope. You need unity and collective efforts amongst creators who educate and plant seeds for more creative thought. Because, the end is only the beginning.
Author and professor Guadalupe Garcia McCall focuses deeply on how to bring creativity forth from youth to adults and she inspires hope, empathy, and compassion.
Tune in for her impassioned discussion about youth, empathy, and creativity. You might be inspired.
This is Part I from The Collective radio show and includes an extra 13 minutes of bonus material that had to be cut to fit the 1 hour time slot on KQBH LA.
Part II is next week.
