Creators are always making something new. Sometimes out of joy, sometimes out of pain. The pandemic pushed all of us to find new ways of being to survive. In that process, we found the systems in place in our governments, societies and workplaces were built against that. I wanted to capture these creators’ stories who have chosen to build a new path forward, one that serves them, their family, and their communities.

How are you creating a new normal?
