Creative & Resilient Voices hosted by Dr. Kenya Nyota Lee, multi-hyphenate leader and creative
Where soulful storytelling meets bold strategy.
Each episode invites listeners into honest, heart-centered conversations about transformation, leadership, and defining joy and success on your own terms.
Through reflective solo episodes and rich dialogues with changemakers, artists, visionaries and everyday women navigating their own becoming, Creative & Resilient Voices celebrates the stories of those daring to remember who they are. It’s for the woman on the edge of change. The artist inside the strategist. The leader who longs to exhale. The dreamer who is done waiting for permission.
Themes include:
• Creativity in all its forms as an act of resilience
• Leadership and transformation in evolving times
• Navigating change, reclaiming authenticity, and redefining what it means to live with purpose.
• Healing, reinvention, and the stories that shape us
Join the Creative & Resilient community every other week for real conversations, soulful insight, and practical wisdom to help you design a life rooted in creativity, purpose, and joy.
In navigating challenges, new seasons of life, uncertainty, and the small quiet wins—we discover just how creative and resilient we really are.

The Waiting Room
How long have you been in the waiting room? Waiting to be ready. Waiting to be recognized. Waiting for permission. Waiting to be affirmed. Many of us tell ourselves the same story: Once I have more experience. Once I feel more confident. Once someone notices my work. Then the raise will come. The promotion. The better opportunity. But the longer I observe leadership and career journeys — my own and others — the more I see how easily readiness becomes a moving target. And how waiting for recog...
