The Creatives Do Business Well Podcast

The Rite of Passage Every Black Business Owner Has to Go Through

🎙️ In this Episode: The Rite of Passage Every Black Business Owner Has to Go Through In this episode of Creatives Do Business Well, I am speaking directly to every Black business owner who has ever felt like burning it all down. The discourse around Anifa Mvuemba closing Hanifa after almost fifteen years brought up everything I live every single day as a Black creative entrepreneur in America. I share a voice memo straight from my heart. I talk about why I am not shocked by Anifa's decision, why I overstand it, and why this moment is bigger than one brand closing. It is a rite of passage that our community needs to understand. In this episode we cover: Why Black business owners face a completely different starting point than their counterparts How systemic barriers and lack of capital turn gifted creatives into burned out business owners The double standard our community holds Black businesses to while giving billion dollar brands unlimited grace Why your gift has to serve you before it serves anyone else How to prioritize your wellness, your creative freedom, and your wholeness while building a business from your gifts A love letter and a prayer for Anifa and every Black business owner choosing themselves today If your business is running you instead of you running it, let's fix that.

010: Creatives Do Business By Embracing Their Multi-passionate Nature

I talk about why being multi-passionate is actually your superpower as a creative entrepreneur - not something to overcome or "fix." If you've ever been told to "just pick one thing" or felt guilty about having multiple creative interests, this episode is for you. The “pick one thing" mentality is outdated doesn't serve creative entrepreneurs. We'll go over ways to manage your creative interests without feeling scattered, create structure, and honor your whole self - mind, body, spirit, and energy. Being multi-passionate isn't a flaw… it's a gift. You don't need to choose just one lane or fit yourself into someone else's business model. The world needs your unique combination of talents and perspectives. Join me on Substack [https://creativesdobusinesswell.substack.com/] where we continue the conversations from the podcast.

009: To the Creative Who Feels Numb: What to Do When Business Isn’t Fun Anymore

In this episode of Creatives Do Business Well, we continue the ‘ Go With the Flow. Then Get To Business Series’ and talk about the Sacral Chakra. I talk about what happens when you lose that spark for your creative business. Remember when you'd lose track of time working on projects you loved? Now it feels more like a to-do list you're dragging yourself through. Today we're talking about your creative energy center (your sacral area) - where all your passion, joy, and creative flow lives. I explore how generations of Black women entrepreneurs have been pushed to suppress joy and creativity for survival, creating ancestral patterns that live in our bodies today. When your sacral chakra is depleted, no external business change will fix the problem - you need to address the energy depletion at its source. Prefer to read? Check out this post, where I go over exactly how to spot when your creative energy is blocked and simple ways to get your spark back.
