In this episode, I share an update on 31 Days of Black Business , the audio series I'm producing for Black Business Month featuring Black entrepreneurs from around the world. We talk about what it's like to build a large creative project as a team of one, what I've learned from interviewing business owners, and how a power outage, scheduling hiccups, and a trip to Detroit have all become part of the process.

I also share reflections from the MDW Summit, where artists, organizers, and cultural workers from across the Midwest gathered to exchange ideas, build community, and imagine what's next. If you've ever wondered what happens behind the scenes of a creative project—or what it looks like to keep going when life keeps life-ing—this one's for you.
