OUR GUEST
CONNECT W/ ANNIE KATE
EPISODE GUIDE
The root of creativity must be nurtured and tended to if you long for it to grow into something meaningful and prolific. And maybe “nurturer” is one of most accurate titles that could be given to Annie Kate Jones. It’s hard to define Annie and that’s a good thing. She is a dreamer + writer + illustrator + friend + mentor. She prefers to focus on the qualities she wishes to possess rather than titles or description. Annie has been an artist of words since middle school and continues to grow in various creative expressions. Our conversation with her is tinted with wisdom and wonder and we chat about education, innovation, collaboration, creative empathy, poetry, Seinfeld, music, and how a Love List rescued some of us from the jaws of depression.

Creativity is often pushed aside in education because we can’t measure it. *If we can’t measure it, we don’t need it.* (<sarcasm) Tweet This
