Ask Jordyn (Part 7): Rediscovering the Inner Creative in You

<p>Let's find out how to rediscover the inner creative in you.</p> <p>===</p> <p>[00:00:00] Tuoyo Eresanara: Oh, yeah. Wow. That's, that's a nice, so I'm hearing the arts in this whole thing.</p> <p>[00:00:06] So tell us a bit about that, about your journey and what you do. </p> <p>[00:00:13] Jordyn Ruiz: Well, I think in a lot of ways, I'm just at the beginning.
