The Art of Doing Life
As we navigate the realities of living while human, making art can feel impossible. Many of us have a list of the perfect conditions that must exist before we can live our creative dreams. But what if the ideal circumstances we’re waiting for never come? Join educator, writer, and storyteller Danielle Shontae Smith as she explores the daily realities of engaging in the creative process during times of trial. Featuring a mix of solo episodes and conversations with guests, The Art of Doing Life is for those of us trying to make art from the messiness of our lives. // msdaniellesmith.com/podcast
