Are you an artist, designer, entrepreneur, or empath? This is the perfect post for you to read and learn about letting going of that fear. These past couple of years have impacted us all in different ways. We can all agree that our mental health has been hit the hardest. Especially as creatives, fear, and anxiety creep in and might have led us to have imposter syndrome or not put our work out at all.
F*** Anxiety Pop Up Shop
Jada is the CEO and founder of Indi Group which assists in digital marketing and artist development. In the past 10 years, she has assisted multiple artists with their different projects. She has worked with the late Nipsey Hussle on political reform and voting in the Black community. Her latest project was the F*** Anxiety pop-up shop in Los Angeles. Jada brought artists and designers from the east coast, midwest, and west coast to Melrose Ave for the day. They were able to sell and speak about their brand to the public.
Jada came up with this concept from the stress of the pandemic that creatives endured. She wanted to give creatives the opportunity to be able to say, f*** your fear, and put their brand out there. These designers/brand owners were given the opportunity to set up the Acrostics store on Melrose Avenue. The brands were brought together through their different focus on mental health and design. She gave designers the ability to connect with each other from different areas of the United States.
