About the event

Create Boldly! The World Needs Your Story
Creators create. Even when we don’t know what to write or draw. Even when we struggle to combat imposter syndrome. Even when the world around us is crumbling. We do it. We create.
To create boldly means to do so in joyous times and even when it’s hard. When we don’t feel like it. When we’re struggling to navigate the inequities and discrimination that abound in the world around us. When some people want certain voices and stories silenced. These are the times when we must be our boldest. For those of us who represent groups that some don’t want to hear – or even wish that we didn’t exist – we must raise our voices louder and more boldly to tell the stories that only we can tell.
