376 - How Seeing Your Work Differently Than the World Does is a Super Power with Shantell Martin: How did an artist whose primary medium is drawing, go on to collaborate with a legendary rapper like Kendrick Lamar, choreograph a ballet for the Boston Ballet and even being invited to give a TED talk? From this conversation, it seems the answer is to defy how people think about what you do. When the world thinks of a drawing, they think of a static image, but for Shantell Martin it’s a dance, it’s a path, it’s a living journey and it’s maybe even a question. This episode will inspire you to defy your own labels and challenge you to see your work in a way you’ve never perceived before!
