Very, very soon in a venue not far away …

Our speaker, Jen Band, isn’t going to blow up the Death Star on 11/6, but she will blow minds. We’ve got a good feeling about this. ‪#‎MayTheCoffeeBeWithYou‬

It’s kismet! Check out this great interview with Alexis Jo Bruce and husband/business partner Levin Chaskey, founders of Charlotte Star Room & members of the CreativeMornings/Charlotte leadership team! If that’s not cool enough, the article was written by Page Leggett – another member of our team. Totally random, too. The interview went down before our first team meeting. But, it’s just continued proof that ‪#‎CharlotteIsCreative‬!

“Today is yours. Claim it. This life is yours. Live it.” Watch this amazing TEDx talk from Jen Band of Playing for Others and we promise … you’ll be ready for the week ahead and for her to usher in CreativeMornings Charlotte at our inaugural meeting on 11/6.

Are you creative? Of course you are. That’s a trick question. EVERYONE is creative. And, EVERYONE is welcome to CreativeMornings. We can’t wait to hang with you the first Friday of every month. ‪#‎charlotteiscreative‬

One cup a Joe. One rising sun. Infinite possibilities. Have yourself a Creative(Saturday)Morning! #CharlotteIsCreative

There truly is no place like home … and we’re really excited to say that LaCa Projects will be ours when we launch CreativeMornings in #CLT. Not only is the space perfect for events, LaCa’s commitment to fostering and promoting Latin American art and culture is a perfect fit for us. Their spirit and passion is a vibrant example that #CharlotteIsCreative … and we’re proud to call them “home.” If you want to see more, visit lacaprojects.com

As you sip your coffee and look at the day ahead, remember: “Everyone is Creative.” Then, go be amazing! See you in three short weeks on Nov 6! #CharlotteIsCreative

Our November theme – “Work” – has got us thinking. Everyone has a special place where they feel inspired to create. In the case of Matt Olin (@mattolincreates), our Charlotte Chapter host, it’s this 100-year old stand up desk. It used to be a ticket counter at a North Carolina train station. Now, it’s basecamp for Matt’s copywriting. (Psst … what you can’t see is Matt’s keyboard, so he can battle writer’s block with a little jam session.) Where’s your creative space? Send us a photo of your #Workspaceporn and tell us about it so we can all be jealous.

Just 25 short days until our first #CLT Meeting of Creative Mornings! You know you want to be there. To get an invite, make sure you’re signed up at www.CharlotteIsCreative.com!
