The Unconventional Pursuit
by Kristie Taiwo-Makanjuola
The Unconventional Pursuit focuses on documenting the journey of full-time creatives/artists. We are interested in having conversations with individuals that are fully dedicated to their craft and have decided to pursue their dreams relentlessly. The journey to success can be difficult and often times unclear, but there’s a reason why each artist continues to push and create. We are here to explore that reason. We strive to introduce the stories and the work of various creatives while simultaneously building a community where people can forge relationships and collaborate. Join our community!
