Quote:
“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.” Ira Glass

Challenge yourself to have these difficult conversations. Find some new artist, read some new books and support local black artists, businesses and communities. Send us your feedback and any other recourses you think we need to know about! You can always DM us or send us an email.

If this conversation makes you uncomfortable we URGE you to continue listening and begin understanding that the best time to learn is when you are uncomfortable. We do want to mention that we know we are not perfect and if we make a mistake with vocabulary or misrepresentation we encourage you to message or email us so we can continue to learn. We recognize that we are two white men and understand our privilege based and we recognize the position we are in.
