YOUR COMFORT ZONE WILL KILL YOU…..


Iā€™m try to incorporate the thought of getting out my comfort zone in my day in and day out task and Iā€™ve noticed a difference in myself everyday. Like the fact that went to this event by myself, when I wouldā€™ve had someone come with to low the anxiety I get when going out to public events alone. Ā This networking event I went was ā€œLetā€™s talk Woman in the Creative Industriesā€ at the SVA THEATRE. The panelist included Annaliseā€™s Ariosa-Benston (MFA 2016 Fine Arts), Nadia Delane (MFA 2015 Visual Narrated), Aura Lewis (MFA 2017 Illustration as Visual Essay) and Jessica Perilla (BFA 2004 Graphic Design). I took Ā home two things one thing is from Nadia Delane is that looking for and having good mentor is great but you try to relive there steps that got them to where they are you have to make your own and sometimes having a mentor doesnā€™t have to me you waiting for someone approval to show your work to the world. The other things I took home was from Annaliseā€™s Ariosa-Benston an it was to get into habit of just making things before the idea is gone. Ā I tend to not create things because I donā€™t think I have time or I donā€™t have paper and pencil to sketch it out then I forget. Trust yourself and take up more space. Being itā€™s not a lot of us women in the industry trust your opinion, ideas, skills and letā€™s woman occupy more of these galleries, agencies and workplaces in general.
