The Voice of Resilience with Tanya Blackwell | Courageous Creativity Show
Description:
Welcome back to the Courageous Creativity Show! I am absolutely thrilled to sit down with an amazing creator, writer, and fellow Atlanta Dramatists board member, Tanya Blackwell. In this episode, we explore what it takes to step away from the familiar and ensure your authentic voice truly rises. Tanya recently made the profound decision to leave a highly successful 18-year corporate career in research administration to pursue her creative passions full-time.
Navigating life's major transitions requires a strong community and a willingness to step into the unknown. We dive deep into how artistic expression, world travel, and dedicated mentorship can be the ultimate tools for healing and empowerment. Having poured my own creative energy into playwriting with works like LYRICS, I deeply appreciate the sanctuary that the theater world provides, and it is a joy to share that passion with a fellow creator.
