Creative people are disciplined, but they also understand the value of letting their minds wander. 

 Creativity and discipline are two very different things. Creativity is the ability to come up with new ideas, while discipline is the act of sticking to what you have already established. Discipline can be a good thing but creativity without it will not succeed.  

Here Kassandra gives tips on how to be disciplined as a creative and be successful.

She lectures in Sociolgy and Black Studies at Birmingham City University, where she teaches about Black Feminism, Popular Culture and Representation Discourse. She is also the Founder and Managing Director for Bourn Beautiful Naturals, a black-owned company create products for Afro textured hair and sensitive skin.

Inspired by her academic theory and teaching, BBN’s ethos is grounded in centering the needs of Black people, whose needs are often incidental for many larger companies. “Black women are usually the most readily connected to their entire community, so if I’m addressing their wellbeing, I am also helping them address the wellbeing of their children and their families too. I’m proud that we are a family brand”. Just as the products themselves were based on herself, family and friends so is the brand’s playful tone of voice. Kadian fuses her Jamaican, African American and British cultures into the Brand’s identity.

In this episode of the Created For You Podcast we have Tifannie Cross also known as Ms.Cross. She is born and raised in San Diego and grew up in Aspotolic Church; singing in various children, youth and adult choirs. A little background about her is that she got her first professional singing opportunity from the artist then known as Tonex (now known as B.Slade), for his live DVD recording of Out The Box. She was 16 at that time and after graduating from the University of San Diego, with a Bachelor’s Degree in English and Communications, she decided to pursue music and move to Los Angeles in 2011 and the rest were history. But it all started there. And in February 2018, she released her first single and music video entitled "Simple Love" on YouTube and all digital streaming platforms. Along with singing for major artists, she produces and writes her own music, telling her own stories about her life in hopes that it can help others.
