I consider myself a creative. As a spoken word poet, I make my living and find my passion in creating art. In doing so, I find myself being surrounded by many creatives, whether they be family or friends or both. I am around creatives so often that I find myself preferring their presence. There’s something special about being around people capable of taking human emotion and turning it into something tangible.
Thus, whenever I travel somewhere new, I try to find the creatives in the area. Creatives love to cultivate community and I love seeing how these communities differ across the country. Although they don’t all look the same, they all sort of feel the same. And that’s what counts.
Join me on my journey as I visit my favorite creative communities that I have personally visited across the United States and figure out where are all the creatives. You can find my story map here.
