Challenging Artistic Stereotypes 🎤✨ Performing poets, voice-over artists, and brand faces are often boxed into stereotypes. But art isn’t one-dimensional—it’s as diverse as the voices that create it. Challenging artistic stereotypes means embracing the #unique. It’s about shattering expectations, blending forms, and showcasing that a voice-over can move hearts, a poem can #ignite action, and a #brand face can embody #depth and #relatability. Looking to challenge the ordinary? From live #performances and custom voice-overs to brand #representation and motivational #workshops, we offer services designed to #inspire, #engage, and leave a lasting #impact. Let’s #redefine creativity together—contact us today on info.mileskalyamba@gmail.com to explore our service #catalog. #ArtWithoutLimits #ChallengingStereotypes #PerformingPoets #VoiceOverArtists #CreativeRevolution #MilesKalyamba

It’s the third edition of our magazine, and the more we feature the works of the famous and the yet-to-be-famous, I wonder how little we know or will ever know about the minds of artists. This magazine raises relevant questions and does its tiny bit for arts and artists/es. Do we aspire to be commercially successful (much like our artists!)? We let that not worry us. Do we fear we are not doing enough? We embrace our limitations. Do we cherish what we’re creating on these pages and the portal? Too much! And that will keep us going, day after day, edition after edition. Words: @purvagr Art:@mclalan_/

such a nice visual way .. that highlights importance of writing, clarity and self insights.. #written word #communication #myriadmusings ##asktherightquestions #simplyb #nonverbal #visual

I completely agree with this illustration. Writing helps me untangle ‘messy’ thoughts and feelings, giving them structure and clarity. I can see connections by articulating my abstract ideas into words. Writing is not just about communication. It can be a journey of self-discovery to understand ourselves better, whether putting pen to paper or fingers to a keyboard. So, next time you feel overwhelmed by thoughts, grab a notebook or open a document. You might be surprised by the clarity that awaits! #WritingForClarity #SelfDiscovery #ClearMind

Ever feel like your mind is an overstuffed suitcase of ideas? 🎒 Before Writing: My brain is PACKED. Content jammed together with no room to breathe. 😵💫 I know there are golden nuggets in there, but everything feels jumbled up. During Writing: Cue the chaos.💥 Idea rabbit-holes. Sticky notes. Mindmaps. It’s a creative mess! After Writing: Suddenly, it all clicks.💡 A LinkedIn post. A learning experience. A resource that actually helps. Everything is sorted, folded, and ready to deliver impact. 🙌 👉 Writing isn’t just about creating content. It’s how I organise my mind to make complex ideas SIMPLE and actionable for learners. Because if I can’t think clearly, how can I expect others to learn clearly? 🛠️ TRY THIS: 💥 Set a 10-minute timer. 💥 Brain dump your messiest idea. 💥 No editing. No structure. Just let it out. It might be your next business venture or book. The mess is part of the process. Your best ideas won’t arrive perfectly folded. What’s one idea you’ve been sitting on that’s ready to spill out?
