Show Notes
In this episode of The Truth in This Art: Run It Back, I talk with author and professor D. Watkins again. Watkins, a Baltimore native, is known for his strong stories. He shares how his work still looks at themes of identity, community, and strength. Watkins shares how winning the Gordon Parks Fellowship and the James Beard award changed his creative path. Watkins also discuss staying true to your art, facing challenges in the art world, and the importance of helping each other in the community.
