the Creativity VlogIn my videos, I discuss topics like buddhism, recovery and loving kindness, crimes against the queer and trans community, and I even address ageism in our society especially as it relates to YouTube and the worship of youth in our culture.
The main focus of these videos is creativity and how to deal with it in the face of life challenges. As an older queer person, I have a unique story to tell. This format, and the platform of YouTube is a perfect way to bring my perspective of the world to light.
As the project grows I’ll be looking for more topics to cover, more things to say. I don’t think I’m in any danger of running out of ideas, but the goal is to have viewer participation. I’ve said it before, artists don’t create in a vacuum.
I’d love to hear what you have to say about any one of these videos and the project as a whole, If you have a topic you’d like me to cover, consider picking one of the perks on my patreon page. You can become part of my creative process.
I hope you enjoy this project and that it inspires you to create something of your own.
