Love Lisa and everything she makes.. this book is no exception.

Excellent book for any creative or anyone desiring to be creative. Inspiring, motivational. My favorite nugget “it isn’t magic, it’s just hard work”

Plenty of great tips, but

it’s told through the filter of the author’s personal social justice/activism agenda. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with social justice advocacy or activism, but I wish that the book focused on its title subject more. It’s a book about finding our creative voices as artists, so it should be inclusive of ALL types of artists. Yep: Even Caucasian cis-gendered people.

Great narration.

4 star. Would've been 5 but the unnecessary political pandering detracted from the overall experience.

Highly recommend for artists needing a pep talk.

Great advice for Emerging artists and established artists alike. Very motivating for those artists that are in a lull and looking for answers.
