On the Come Up with Libby and Riley
The Art of eMPWRing with Taylor Shine
Local creative and entrepreneur Taylor Shine lives life by trusting her gut. After trying out a few different paths, Taylor made sure she listened to her likes and dislikes regarding her career, and fell into a space she’d been passionate about her whole life: creating. From making crafts as a little girl to now, where she has started her own magazine, Taylor has found a way to combine her passion for art with her mission to shed light on the stories of women in marginalized communities. In this episode, Taylor shares her path to the art world, her love of collaboration, and the pride she feels in starting “eMPWR,” her magazine.
