I Created These for You!

Substack happenings (and an IRL event) this May

Happy May! Here’s a quick round-up of what to expect from us this month, and all the ways to connect and be in community →

• May 12: Possibilities Club Workshop (Live on Zoom, 12-1pm PST). Open to paid subscribers. Upgrade here to register.

• May 14: “How to Come Back to Your Creative Self” by Rebecca Hass (composer, pianist, creative coach). Open to all subscribers.

• May 19: “Concepts of Time: Personal & Cultural” by me (Vanessa Li). Open to paid subscribers.

• May 28: “Futures of Creativity” is an event I’ve been invited to participate as a panelist alongside 3 other SF-based creative women. It’ll be a candid conversation about design, creativity, and shaping our multi-passionate career paths. This event is hosted by Service Design Network, Women in Innovation, & Adobe, and it is open to the public. Register here.

• May 29: Community Coffee Chat with Prerana Mydur and Emery Tran. Community Coffee Chats are Substack Live events where we sit down with creatives in our community for a casual dialogue on what’s been on their hearts and minds. This specific event will explore the topic of how to navigate success in both one’s 9-5 job and creative endeavor, especially when they are equally loved and valued. Add the event to your calendar here.

That’s it for now (though, we’ll likely sprinkle in some surprises)! 😉

Don’t forget to check out our Tomatokind community chat where your fellow subscribers have been sharing resources, wins, and pitching collaborations. New threads drop every week!

With zeal and gratitude for this creative life,

Vanessa
