## Resource

Oh, hello to all you playful poets, language lovers, and verbivores. In the second episode of season four, Nicole is joined by the founder of Nourish, Michaela Ayers. Michaela is a facilitator, interdisciplinary artist, creative caregiver, and our new favorite Nebraskan. Join Nicole and Michaela as they go from coloring outside the lines to feeding social revolution through creative acts of defiance. They search for etymological roots in ancient goddesses and look to change our reality by simply imagining an alternative. Now, raise your hand if you're an artist, build yourself an altar, and most importantly… give yourself permission to come out and play as we define creativity. Further Research Learn more about Michaela’s experiential studio and join Michaela’s 5-week virtual collage cohort (starting in April) https://nourish.community/ Listen to Black Her Stories, Michaela’s podcast celebrating the creative power of Black women, past and present. https://nourish.community/podcast/ As always, you can reach the team at itsallpoetry.podcast@gmail.com
