In this episode celebrating Black History Month, watch three creative shop owners answer the question: Why do you create?

Candlemaker Josephine Darkwah describes how her mother’s love for perfume inspired a second career that keeps her home fragrance-filled. Ceramicist Kimberleigh Arn calls working with clay a meditative experience. And for illustrator and designer Loveis Wise, the approach to their work is right there in the name.
