I feel the shifting mindset of Teaching Artists to understand that they are artist entrepreneurs is a very important part of sounding the trumpet about what we do. It increases our responsibility and agency, including positive competition in various marketplaces

Things like Eric Booth's TAJ give TAs an opportunity to share ALL of what we bring to the table. It is not as if we each have (or SHOULD have) the exact same credentials to work. Creativity develops based on all that we know and have experienced. So it is important to have many opportunities to share & dig into our work. #StoriesArentJustForStorytellers

P.S. What an honor it was to get published in TAJ back in 2006(ish)!
