Teaching Artistry with Courtney J. Boddie

“Justice is the GPS” continues the feel-good, wellness-focused conversation between Courtney and Ashraf, Youth Arts Manager for the City of Seattle’s Office of Arts & Culture. This part of the episode turns the focus to Ashraf's childhood, his journey from Pakistan to the United States as a baby and his personal trajectory with an emphasis on his discovery of the arts. In the episode, Courtney and Ashraf consider the questions: What does justice mean in the context of the arts world? How can we shift systemic and personal patterns and processes so that they lean toward justice and equity? How can we control our environment when we can't control the environment in which you find ourselves? How do you recharge when you lose your magic? How does this poignant two-part episode conclude?
