If you could leave one message to the next generation of black women and creatives, what would it be?

Well, being that I am a part of the next generation of black women creatives, I'd say, but also I guess the younger individuals coming up after me, I think The most important thing is just to always put yourself out there, network, and just never be afraid to sell yourself.

I think something that's gotten me in a lot of different places is just making sure that I'm confident, have a great introduction, eye contact, shaking someone's hand, and just making sure that I'm respectful but also telling them a bit more about myself so that, you know, you never know what can come from a relationship when you meet somebody.

You got this.

Did you say your name? No, you got to introduce yourself.

Hi, my name's Addison.

I don't know, should I look at the camera? My name's Addison.

So describe an aha moment, emotionally or spiritual, that changed how you understand creativity.
