i just love love love talented, passionate, creative, and unique people who pursue what they love unapologetically and authentically. who seek to figure themselves out through the forms of art they put out into the world.

feeling inspired is something very special to me. it is a feeling that only a few people can evoke. inspired is a word that gets thrown around a lot and is not always used as deeply as it was meant to be used.

to be inspired is to gain a new level and form of consciousness, to be awakened. it's a spark ignited in our hearts that drives us to create beauty in the world, to do more, and to inspire others in turn. what a beautiful cycle of life it is— to inspire and to be inspired. to inspire me is to be so divine, so interesting, fascinating, talented, wonderfully unique, and intelligent in many forms. to be an inspiring person in my eyes is for you to strike the right balance between all of these dimensions.

i wanted to highlight some of those people in this article, but i’ll keep each description short & sweet so you can go and experience the magic for yourself <3

avni rao

obviously avni is so so so cool and just radiates so much positivity, kindness, & passion!

i met avni when she participated in cseed buildspace cohort 1. i really appreciate and admire how she puts her all into everything she does.

was particularly inspired by her writings that she has shared on her medium.
