Here I, Sasha, an artist and educator, speak with my guests about why creativity turns the volume up on our own voices. We talk about creativity and mental health, self-expression, and what it means to make something. If you"ve ever wanted to draw, dance, or sing but felt you needed talent, a certificate, a degree, or someone"s permission, this might be your
