Bring Your Full Self

In the final 1-on-1 conversation of the first season of Bring Your Full Self, we join Amy Yoshitsu & Michelle McCrary, the earliest and newest working members of Converge Collaborative. Across two episodes this wonderful conversation follows Amy and Michelle as they discuss their passion for music scenes and cultures, their identities as only children, and their experiences navigating workspaces while maintaining a sense of self. 

Part two of this conversation between Amy & Michelle will be available next week March 30, 2023

Bring Your Full Self  is a series of conversations that center the humanity and emotions of people of color in the context of their labor, how they generate their work, and survive inside the systems of capitalism. This podcast is produced and created by members of Converge Collaborative, an artist-led BIPOC workers co-op and creative collective.

We hope you enjoy listening! If you have any thoughts, questions, or feedback, you can reach us at converge@convergecollaborative.com, or on Instagram, @convergecollaborative.

What is Bring Your Full Self?

Bring Your Full Self is a series of conversations that center the humanity and emotions of people of color in the context of their labor, how they generate their work, and survive inside the systems of capitalism. Bring Your Full Self is produced and created by members of Converge Collaborative, an artist-led BIPOC workers co-op and creative collective.

This podcast serves the dual purpose of making transparent the process of creating Converge Collaborative, and allowing us to connect with a wider community of laborers, professionals, and artists of color. Converge was founded with the acknowledgement that work, personal endeavors, and creative pursuits cannot be compartmentalized no matter how much our current culture tells us they must. We invite ourselves and others to cultivate spaces that allow us to safely step away from the myth of professionalism and embrace the reality that all of our experiences, learnings and challenges intertwine, merge and make us the multitudes that we all are. 

Season 1 features one-on-one conversations between Converge Collaborative members, as well as episodes in a roundtable format, with members discussing a variety of topics related to the way work and labor function in society today.
