Hallie BrewerFirst to rec“This might not be new to a lot of artists, but it’s one worth keeping on your bookshelf and revisiting when the going gets tough. A reminder that resistance is part of the process, and that the uncomfortable growth and change we experience as artists can be a necessary part of the journey.”
