Banana bread-making, gardening, and home workouts came to define the culture-shifting 2020 lockdown that went into effect around the world. Some people got into Peloton, some got dogs, and others still got into something seemingly other-worldly. Welcome to the era of the Fungi. We got to sit down with CEO & Co-Founder of @smallhold, Andrew Carter, to talk about the rise of the mushroom kingdom in the age of lockdowns.

“Kyle and I always say ‘wear the purple suit.’ It’s an ongoing metaphor to say to each other, ‘let there be nothing that we can’t try or do.’ I’d rather have phases of my life where I try every manner of clothing and walk in and out of rooms regardless of how comfortable [or uncomfortable] other people might feel.”

"Running is my primary source of wellness, my meditation, my daily dance. My ego was the undercurrent pulling me into uncharted waters, a riptide of emotion," writes Rio Lakeshore (@rio_lakeshore). "All I could do was float with the undertide. My ego had to drown for me to reshape my devotion to movement."

Head to the link in bio to read about Rio's journey in re-introducing himself to his devotion to running, re-learning the steps in the beautiful dance we call movement. #TheInspiration by @therecreationalist

“I think people are just really hungry to feel better and to heal, and I think it’s taught me that all of us are really more alike than we are different,” says Willie Greene (@williegreene_), founder of @wetheurban, a once viral Tumblr account gone global.

“My first memories of organized exercise came courtesy of women like Mari Winsor, Caplan Pinckney, and my mom,” says writer Emma Robinson (@newnegrowomanhood). “Outside, my neighborhood was a smorgasbord of Black bodies on roller skates, long bronzed legs on bikes maintained by the rider — a Black universe in motion. But what of the world outside?”

Head to the link in bio to read as Robinson traces her “movement lineage” through the silhouettes of the Black women that shaped her world — and why we can’t properly honor Black History Month without knowing them. #TheInspiration by @therecreationalist

We only have one world — one Playground. 🌍 Luckily, it’s a really big one. And it’s filled with wonderful landscapes and big open areas and lots of room to play. But as much as we explore and enjoy it, we’ve also ought to cherish, respect, and protect it.

Our newest playlist is filled with songs that feel like a deep breath of fresh air. They inspire us to take a beat, look up, look around, and really soak in the outdoors. It’s a really cool Playground we’re all living on. Link in bio to listen. by @therecreationalist
