Season 1 Trailer

Welcome to Rebuilding the Artist, a podcast dedicated to reconnecting with creativity, reclaiming artistic identity, and healing from the pressures that often come with a life in the arts. Hosted by Rashida Black, this journey dives deep into the myths of the “tortured artist,” the need for community, and the art of balancing vulnerability with healthy boundaries. In Season 1, we tackle topics like using art as a tool for self-healing, reclaiming who you are as an artist, and navigating the challenges of feeling like an outsider or questioning the worth of your voice. You’ll hear real stories and gain practical insights to help rebuild your creative self—because artistry is about thriving, not just producing. If you’re a seasoned professional, someone rediscovering your creative passions, or simply searching for inspiration, Rebuilding the Artist offers a space to find support, understanding, and new perspectives. Join us to reclaim what may have been lost or hidden—because you’re not just your art; you’re the artist behind it.
