Farewell for now


Hi! Annie here. This is my last week at CreativeMornings. Without hyperbole, these past two years have been the happiest of my adult working life. I genuinely get to show up to work and spark creativity, joy, and play. I’ve taught people how to look at art, how to make zines, and how to be their bravest selves and put their creations out into the world. And I became a writer, something I had never imagined for myself. Thank you Tina, for manifesting your belief that work can be a playground for your future self. Because of what you and the CMHQ team have created, I get to walk into my future with bounding steps. 

Today I am equal parts full of grief and gratitude, for having been the steward of something so precious and now learning to let it go. As a parting gift, here are some of the things I learned during my time at CreativeMornings.
