It’s so rare I get the chance to talk about the craft (capital C!) of writing, my creative process and my writing influences. I’m grateful to have friends who deeply value making things, like @jsmithtapp. She’s one of the brilliant minds behind @read.bureau, a storytelling platform that explores creative work with care and respect. She’s also a gorgeous writer, whose words drape over you like a silk shirt that fits perfectly. (See last slide❣️) Jen interviewed me as part of Bureau’s beautiful Words issue. I’m linking it in my bio and encourage you to spend some time with the wonderful writers who populate this issue while you’re there. 🙏🏻 @read.bureau for the space to breathe and think and reconnect to the joy of being a creative; thanks for valuing and uplifting the quiet resistance of artistic exploration. 🤍

How can we tell stories about place without also reckoning with the politics shaping it? That question has been guiding my shift in focus. While Please, Do Tell has always been about place, identity, and culture, my work has increasingly returned to the human rights lens that’s long shaped my perspective. Maybe it’s because of what’s unfolding in the U.S. and beyond, the erosion of democracy, the rise in authoritarianism, the targeting of migrants and marginalized communities. It no longer feels sufficient to tell beautiful travel stories without also grappling with the political and human realities shaping them. The stories I want to tell now are still grounded in curiosity and connection, but with a sharper focus on justice, resilience, and what it means to belong. 👉🏽 Thank you to @jsmithtapp @read.bureau for giving me the opportunity to reflect on my work.

Posted @withregram • @read.bureau Meet Bureau: a new journal about the culture of creativity. If you have ever been fortunate enough to spend time around artists and other creatives, you know that there is a distinct kind of quiet conversation that occurs. It happens behind studio doors, across shared meals, and within the notebooks of people who make things. The conversation is thoughtful, and more often than not, we come away having learned something that stays with us. Bureau was born from the desire to document those conversations– and to create a space where process, place, and the people behind creative work can be explored with care. We believe that art, design, food, and creativity in general don’t exist in isolation. They are shaped by context: the texture of daily life, the political moment, personal history, and everything we keep close. Our goal is to trace those connections– to uncover the undercurrents that influence how and why people create. Each issue of Bureau is built around a central theme. Rather than trying to pin meaning down, we let the theme unfold slowly. It’s a point of entry, a prompt, that invites contributors and subjects to reflect on the intersection of everything that influences their work. The result is a thoughtful collection of stories, images, and interviews that feel cohesive without being prescriptive. At Bureau, we are drawn to quiet forms of resistance. To rigor and experimentation. We’re interested in how creatives build a life around their work– and how that work, in turn, responds to the world around them. Artists have always been there to tell the truth about our world, and at a time when established norms have been unmoored, we need creatives more than ever. We want to tell their stories. Word on the street is that attention spans are a thing of the past. Here, we’re not sure that is the case for everyone. If you agree, we hope that each issue of Bureau feels considered– something to return to, something to sit with. This is the beginning. We are building this with intention– and with the knowledge that meaning is created slowly, in dialogue. Welcome to Bureau. We’re glad you’re here.

Many of you know me from my past editorial work, but today I’m incredibly excited to share a new project that is ready to take its first breath: Bureau. Bureau is a journal shaped by a deep curiosity about creativity and the ways it moves us– born from observing, listening, collecting, and dreaming. Always dreaming. If you’ve ever been stopped in your tracks by something beautiful or unexpected, I hope you’ll follow us @read.bureau and be a part of what we’re building. Big thank you to @sukottokun for taking this on with me and designing a gorgeous website. As well as to everyone who has listened to me workshop/ramble about this idea in all of its iterations✨
