If I could enter academia all over again, here's what I'd change... and what I'd keep. [@kdg.creativeconsulting 🫶🏽 follow + favorite] Starting my career as a WOC Creative in academia was a whirlwind of lessons, mistakes, and wins. Looking back, there's plenty I'd rework: 1️⃣ Get clarity on the preexisting vision of the program - Joining a program that does not align with your values is a recipe for disaster. Gaining clarity on how the program operated prior to accepting the position would have saved me a lot of mental anguish and stress in the long run. 2️⃣ Use more advertising and recruitment strategies early on - More people could have been reached and impacted by what the program offered if I would have started sooner with these efforts. This would have opened us up to more donors, more opportunities, and faster growth. 3️⃣ Call on colleagues more often for support - I have an amazing circle of Dance friends in academia that I should have contacted for support before ish hit the fan. Bringing in help earlier would've accelerated both my and the program’s growth. BUT, there's one thing I'd do exactly the same: ✨ Engage students with care and intentionality - Connecting personally with my students built a level of trust and loyalty that could not have happened otherwise. I genuinely love educating, and I know having that rapport allows the students to have a deeper, more enriching experience. Lessons that had to be learned, right? But if I can pass on these insights to save other WOC Creatives in academia from similar pitfalls, then it's all worth it. . If you're journeying through the world of Arts in academia as a WOC Creative, my 1:1 coaching program, "Daydreams to Dream Life", can help you navigate your toxic environment without having to leave the field or lose your passion.
