September resources roundup for creatives of color
substack #29
Hi, I’m Bianca — Artist, Professor, & Creative Strategist living in Los Angeles. In case you are new here or if a reminder could help, this newsletter began as an exploration of figuring things out, one day at a time. Upgrade to a paid subscription to make sure you never miss out on the really good stuff.
Hey Ya’ll,
Thanks to everyone for all the love and support following my solo show announcement. You can look forward to some new pieces and revisions to older ones. I somehow also said yes to contributing to a performance piece and I’m currently prepping Fall lectures as well as putting together my syllabus for my spring class.
To put it simply, the next few weeks are busy. So it’s short and sweet this week.
Below are some cute tools and resources I’ve collected for designers and creatives.
