Hi there! I’m an artist, writer, activist, and creative business consultant based out of the Pacific Northwest. I came here 27 days ago (to be exact!) as a creator who is always making content that I’m not paid for. That is, until I found steemit: a platform that pays for high-quality content. What a revolutionary concept! And -- potentially life-changing for artists. My goal here is to help artists thrive, and to support projects and initiatives fueling high-quality, creative content. Thank you for creating this contest to do just that.
One of my personal projects is running an ongoing theatre program in a medium-security prison in Washington. This is one of my passion projects, and as I embark on the start of a 5-month journey to devise a new play about the root cause of unprovoked American violence, I’ve taken it on myself to write a blog series to go along with it.
For this contest, I’m sharing my latest post (about my first workshop in this process!) I have upvoted, resteemed, followed etc. I will go support another entry after posting this.

Hello @lilyraabe , thank you for entering in Day Three of this seven day event. It's a blessing to have such compassionate, talented individuals like you join in on this community initiative. I'm very eager to read your work :) Good luck. Looking forward to what the future brings!
I appreciate the support, the opportunity, and good luck with the rest of this contest. Great idea! :)
Hi there, here is my Day 4 entry (it’s a multimedia art contest--hey! maybe you want to enter?!). https://steemit.com/contest/@lilyraabe/art-mix-up-contest-or-01
@lilyraabe , this is great :) I'm definitely going to drop an entry in if I'm not too late! Thank you for sharing this with the community and for your amazing work! I'll be announcing Day Three's winner soon, been a loooooooong day. Thanks again for participating in this and for sharing the pieces you have!
Awesome, there’s still a few days, deadline isn’t until the post expires.
@lilyraabe could you possibly refer me to #thealliance ? I'm very interested in this and am not sure how to get on board. If you could help me out with that I would greatly appreciate it!
Heya! It’s not really a “referral” system, you have to write an application. :) Here’s what I posted, and there’s info inside to point you in the right direction on their page to get you started. You’ll head over to their Admissions Office on discord (linked in article) to get started! https://steemit.com/thealliance/@lilyraabe/why-i-want-to-be-an-ally-my-application-to-thealliance
Awesome, thank you very much!
Wow. This must be quite an experience. Hopefully life changing for those you are working with. That's very admirable :)
Thank you so much for checking it, definitely one of my passion projects. :)
I can see why. I wish you lots of luck with this project .
