Hi Reader,
CREATE is a conference, yes. We will concede that is technically what it is.
But it is also an opportunity to fill your dance card.
Olivia Odileke, our CREATE emcee, has released another absolute bop for the conference. She will be onstage bringing exactly this energy with her:
π΅ Listen to Olivia's latest songβ
You may also want to start practicing your hairography. This is not simply moving your hair. It is storytelling. It is stagecraft. It may be a leadership competency. See? I'm practicing! Follow for my hairography journey.β
And then there is the CREATE Silent Disco Party β your opportunity to pick your channel, put on your headphones, and move around a little. Or a lot. The best part is you can sing at the top of your lungs because no one can hear you! We're all wearing headphones!
And if dancing is not your jam, we are getting crafty and booky, too.
Cyndi Coon and Kathy Cano-Murillo (The Crafty Chica) are hosting the Analog Art Lab β a space to make something with your hands and spend time with women who also understand that not every good idea needs to be vibe-coded into existence.
Sometimes you can paint your ideas. Or draw them. Or stamp them. Or glue them to other things.
Stay for the hairography, the books, the art supplies, or all of the above.
