Altynai Osmo - Creativity, Resilience and Supporting one another

In this episode, we had the privilege of talking with Altynai, a gifted artist from Kyrgyzstan, whose story is a powerful reminder to stay true to your passion—even when it feels like the path is not straight. Altynai shares what it’s like to be a woman creating art in a place where creative paths aren’t always supported, and how sisterhood and solidarity across the globe can spark hope and inspiration.

She talks about the incredible support she received from people around her—mentors, teachers, multiple parents —and how that encouragement changed the course of her life. It reminded us that one of the most powerful ways we can make the world better is by uplifting and educating women everywhere. When we invest in women’s education and creativity, we help entire communities thrive.

We also loved hearing what a regular day looks like for her and realizing how—even though our lives may look different—we’re all grappling with many of the same struggles and aspirations. 

It’s a heartfelt exchange about creativity, resilience, and the ripple effect of supporting one another. Don’t miss it.
