About this listen

What does it mean to claim yourself as a creative? In this episode, Talib Jasir breaks down the myth that creativity is only for artists or those with formal training. He takes us into his personal archive—from childhood rap crews and wack lyrics to coaching creative entrepreneurs, parenting young artists, and producing layered sonic worlds with Grumpy Wizdom. This one’s a meditation and a mirror. On the harm we’ve absorbed. The art we’ve buried. The courage it takes to be seen. Talib reminds us that creating is more than content—it's a way of life, a form of resistance, and an act of liberation. Whether you're holding a mic, a paintbrush, or a vision only you can see, this is a reminder: your ideas came to you for a reason. Honor them.
