🏔We're reaching new heights this month with speaker Micheal Sparks.

Micheal Sparks is the Founder and Executive Director of UGK Community First( The Underground Kitchen ) and Founder and CEO of The Underground Kitchen in Richmond, Virginia.

A longtime creative entrepreneur with a background in design, branding, and hospitality, Micheal founded The Underground Kitchen as a way to bring people together through food, culture, and shared experiences.

Today, Micheal continues to use food as a vehicle for connection, dignity, education, and stronger communities, and he's proof that when you gain some altitude, the best thing to do is come back down and make something worthy of the climb.

🎫Tickets go live at 8:04 a.m. on Monday(10/12) at creativemornings.com

Things may be getting spooky and the weather a tad gloomy so far in October but the skies the limit with the global theme of ALTITUDE🏔

It was chosen by our Toowoomba chapter in Australia , illustrated by Alex Hotchin Alex Hotchin, and is presented by .

If you’re stuck, try going up.

Big ideas are often described as elevated. A flight of fancy. A lofty goal. A bird's-eye view of the problem. Blue-sky thinking.

So, gain some altitude. Then come back down and make something worthy of the climb.

🌴It's the last full month of summer and August’s global theme is NAKHLAH. It was chosen by our Khobar chapter in Saudi Arabia and illustrated by Rahaf Al-Badri .

🌴In Arabic, it means “palm.”
The palm depends on its network of roots spread wide under the ground; just as we all need a network of people supporting us as we grow.

🕸This month, in order to grow, we will be taking a break to rest, do some creative refueling, and maybe squeeze in some relaxation.

☕️Although there is no CreativeMornings/Richmond event this month, we encourage you all to connect with a CreativeMornings/Richmond community member you've met, maybe watch (or rewatch🤭) an inspiring CMRVA talk online, or take some creative refueling rest yourself.

🗓We can't wait to see you all in September

Still thinking about last Friday’s with Anthony Clary, Anthony Clary Sr., MAHS, QMHP himself.

A powerful reminder that your timeline is your own, your process deserves to be honored, and the greatest measure of success is the impact you leave on others.

Thanks to everyone who joined us and helped make another Friday morning one to remember.

🔥 July is bringing the heat, and so is this month’s global theme: COMPETENCIA.

Chosen by our Santiago chapter in Chile and illustrated by Valentina González ( ), this month’s theme invites us to rethink what competition really means.

What if your biggest competition isn’t the person next to you, but the version of yourself from yesterday?

Growth doesn’t have to come at the expense of others. We can challenge ourselves, celebrate one another, and raise the bar together.

How does COMPETENCIA show up in your creative journey?

We invite you to celebrate your wins with this month’s hashtag: 💙
