About the founder

Hi! I’m Laraya!

I’m a 26-year-old writer and podcaster from Virginia. I’m passionate about creativity, which often manifests in writing my Substack newsletter of wisdom & wander and interviewing creatives about their inspirations and values on my podcast Sheer Creativity, coordinating creative events, and having authentic conversations about life and art with amazing people.

I’m passionate about creative gatherings that bring people together, whether that’s through poetry events, retirement celebrations, or baby showers.

Within the next two years, I hope to offer a multi-purpose building where we champion everyday events, but we also imagine the uncommon. I want to imagine the poetry slams, book release parties, cooking classes, paint parties, and everything else creatives desire to share with their community.
