The Shift is a monthly gathering for Black creatives who want more than visibility. It is a space to show up honestly, exchange insight, and examine how we move through our work and our industry.
Created under Black Creatives, The Shift focuses on community and education, and centers conversation around lived experiences.
Each month we explore the keys to creativity and community, recognizing that when we change what we bring into the room, we change what becomes possible.
Seats are intentionally limited to keep the experience focused and meaningful. Join us and be part of the shift.

Our Next Shift: Wednesday, April 8
Who The Shift Is For | The Shift is for anyone who sees themselves as a creative and is seeking meaningful community. We center those working in creative industries and those who collaborate alongside us, but this space is open to all who value creativity, growth, and shared learning.
What to Expect | Each Shift is intentionally designed to be intimate and participatory. You can expect thoughtful conversation, honest reflection, and practical insight you can carry back into your work. More than anything, you can expect to be in a room where you are not the only one navigating this journey. You will leave with new tools, new perspective, and stronger connection.

The Shift, Monthly Series
theShift + Duality
Balancing the work that feeds you and the work that sustains you.
This month’s speakers are Shanta Bunmi Jasper and Hezekiah Baylor, two multidisciplinary creatives who have spent years shaping their work across different spaces.
Many of us feel the pressure to define what kind of creative we are. But in reality, we’re often navigating both sides of the work.
This conversation explores that tension and what it looks like to move between creating for yourself and creating for others in a way that works for you.
Wednesday, April 8 | The Len
Doors open at 6:30pm.
The Shift begins at 7:00pm.
Seats are limited.
