I was invited as a guest speaker to share my journey and insights as a maker, performer, and creative entrepreneur — discussing what it takes to build a multidisciplinary, body-rooted art business in a changing world. I spoke about merging craft, performance, pedagogy and commerce: from wearable art and stage costumes to workshops, movement practices and social-safety training.

I explored the challenges and rewards of navigating different art forms, sustaining creative integrity while offering services, and how to stay rooted in community, culture and authenticity while operating in a professional context. The talk aimed to inspire fellow creatives to build their own path — by embracing multiplicity, collaboration, and vision beyond traditional labels.
