POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

6 years ago we left everything we knew as life behind to chase a dream in Roanoke, Va. It hasn’t been easy, ups, downs, doubts, but every time we show up, y’all show up too. Your support keeps us moving. We’re still here, still fighting, still believing. Thank you for standing with us. We love this community. We’ll NEVER stop because #WeLoveLiftingPeople. The Family Affair Continues🤗

All it takes is space and opportunity…

That’s exactly why we created Creative Conversations — to make room for real conversations, deeper perspectives, and genuine connection. A space where you can not only hear different viewpoints, but get active, reflect, challenge your thinking, and evolve through the experience.

This year, Creative Conversations is stepping into a new era with a unique and social culture experience behind it.

Join us this Thursday at 6:30PM and be apart of a conversation that stays with you long after it ends‼️

As Creative Conversations is evolving we’re bringing an energy and a vibe into the space this year that is all about thinking deeper into what we are consuming and having fun while doing it‼️

R&B is burning the charts right now🔥 and with that there are a variety of questions you think about… let’s talk about it👀

Who do yall think is the king of R&B?

A little more insight into the announcement we shared last week…

Your support helps cover the food & drinks, event materials, hosts, marketing, preparation, and everything that goes into creating the Creative Conversations experience you know and love.

We know this is a shift, but until we secure a sponsor for this series, we hope you’ll continue to grow with and support us ❤️

With that being said Next Creative Conversations is May 21st, turn on your post notifications to stay up to date with more info dropping soon!

Thank you always,
The Collective Team
