• On Deck: Heidi Cannon

  Our next guest on deck is Heidi Cannon aka AmericanWastoid. A full time optician and a self taught hand embroidery artist, Heidi has worked in the service industry for over ten years in various places all over the country. In this episode, we cover the differences in working in smaller rural areas versus a bigger urban city. Anxiety about the thought of diving back into restaurant world after leaving which a lot of people are dealing with (and honestly perhaps why a lot of folks have not gone back). We also touch on being the voice for folks in a company who are too afraid to speak up for what they need/deserve. I feel like this has come up a lot with many folks in previous episodes which says a lot about the people we have been talking to. We also talk about the gymnastics your brain had to do during the height of the pandemic. The stress, the fear, the turmoil happening, and still having to go to work to survive. We also talked to Heidi about treating life outside of work with as much care as you do your job. Focusing on how we feel about ourselves and what we love instead of what someone else has said is the shit. And what has been interesting for me personally (Ade👋🏾)) as I grow my creative business, the difference between gatekeeping versus trade secrets.

• On Deck: Eva Martinez-Bond

  This week our guest is Eva Martinez-Bond. A painter and illustrator currently based in Seattle, WA whose work explores the distortion of mind, body, and self in a capitalist reality. Using their own personal history and body as a reference, to reflect greater themes of loss, grief, and discomfort. Topics discussed include brown and black bodies being used as tools of "coolness" to draw in money while being constantly disrespected. Not being allowed to acknowledge the pain and abuse being inflicted because the owner of a business is popular. We also talk about the infamous fried chicken fiasco by a former business owner in Philadelphia. Losing yourself and identity to work when it was originally to supplement the creative life, and most importantly, joy being a form of revolution. You can find Eva's work at their website, on Instagram at @3vamade and all other things life and new puppy related things at their personal Instagram at @walkerlived You can find more information about Eva, our podcast, and leave a comment about the episodes at our website: www.plantainsandgin.com/creativesondeck You can support us by following us on Instagram (@creativesondeck), subscribing and rating us five stars on Apple Podcasts, and sharing our podcast with your friends.

• On Deck: Attia Taylor

  Episode six features musician and Womanly Mag founder, Attia Taylor. Attia is a Brooklyn-based writer, musician, and content producer. She is the founder of Womanly, The Dorothy and a member of The Art Dept Collective. Her work is rooted in social justice, art, and design, to bring inclusive and culturally relevant content to sound, print and digital realms. She is passionate about building and cultivating communities through journalism, music, storytelling, and research. We touch on the intense nature of New York City and adapting to it, and how family practices and beliefs passed down from generation informs what you eventually believe. How sometimes you go interview at a place where everyone is a clone of you and apparently everyone who grew up in Philadelphia had their first job at Rita’s?? The fallacy of midlife breakdowns mainly happening in your thirties but truly being burnt out in your twenties which leads to reassessing what time and abilities were worth and making mental health a priority. The best way to set up getting out of your boring nine to five, to do the things you enjoy in life which I believe you should break out that notepad app and take some fuckin notes babes. It’s a genius set up.

• On Deck: Tsehaitu Abye

  This week our guest is Tsehaitu Abye. Tsehaitu Abye is a social strategist, entrepreneur, startup fixer, Founder of Black Dragon Breakfast Club, and a rising singer-songwriter. As an Ethiopian American growing up between Philadelphia and Hawaii, Tsehaitu gained unique perspectives of identity, race, class, immigration, community organizing, and leadership. We talk about building trust and space with other black folks to create the way we would like to and build in a way that we do not feel taken advantage of. Asking the real question of.. are hobbies really a thing? What the fuck are they? Exorcising people from your life who are only living for trauma porn and political organizing at a nonprofit vs union organizing/grass roots organizing. How the search for a woman producer was important for the creative process because men stay trying to take advantage of situations and not respecting women for their talent and only taking advantage of the situation to score a date or whatever else is on their minds. How the pressure of trying to be perfect in friendships, romance, work, can distract from the beauty of learning as you go and not being hard on yourself. Tsehaitu is an internet friend who has become an inspiration and passionate in real life force of nature. We go deep in this one and hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.
