Whispers from Above is a creative project that aims to normalize the conversation and validate the emotional experience of grief, through the use of art therapies. Art therapy can be expressive in which someone creates their own work, such as visual art, poetry, performance, music, movement, etc. Art therapy can also be receptive in which someone analyzes and understands someone else's artwork. This project was released on SoundCloud in order to make grief resources more accessible to all and to build an online community.<br/><br/>Whispers from Above worked with twelve poets, fifteen artists, six different interviewees, and multiple musicians to create a month of grief support. The finale piece of Whispers from Above was devised from the twenty-nine poems used within this month-long healing journey. All the individual poems were woven into a single devised poem to be presented as the final piece symbolizing that no one is alone in grief.<br/><br/>Whispers from Above is creative community exploration of grief, loss, and death in which we hope contributors, and listeners find solace and support. This series will exist on SoundCloud after March 27th, 2021 with a monthly release of a poem or interview accompanied by art, and music.
Marketing In The Digital Age, or MITDA is a start-up business that provides seminars and lectures on digital media marketing and social media algorithms to ASU students and small businesses. We work with social media influencers to host lectures and seminars on brand awareness at ASU, and then offer classes and consulting to small-businesses who are looking to expand their online brand awareness. The content that we focus on compromises many different aspects of digital media marketing: platform specific algorithms, trends, digital media content creation (such as Photoshop and Canva), influencer brand deals and sponsorships, and influencer consultations. With MITDA, ASU students and small businesses have the opportunity to hop on quick trends, build a marketable brand to Generation Z, and learn how to stay relevant in the new marketing world of influencers and content creators.
