Amy Grace, a writer and creative producer in Nova Scotia, is fascinated by the creative process. She speaks to Jeff Douglas about how some people are learning to be creative without letting "hustle culture" make them lose sight of the important things in their lives.
Over the Summer, I worked alongside CBC Producer Natalie Dobbin and my good friend from high school playwright, director and writer Megan Piercey Monafu to create a three-episode series that discusses the mementos we make and carry with us.
This series is the outcome of what happens when you sit down with a good best friend from your past over video chat, catch up and discuss what is going on in each other's lives. It led us to reflect on the notes we have kept and created conversations that morphed into this beautiful three-episode series featuring not just ourselves but two other smart, intelligent, and deep women.

I was beyond thrilled with the results and collaboration it inspired.

2020 threw us all for a loop.
One way I have found that has kept me afloat in my own processing of it, is to pursue work that lifts up others and brings the real, along with the unique to the forefront.
It was a no brainer for me to produce this beautiful project ‘Owning It’, alongside CBC producer Natalie Dobbin and photo/videographer Claire Fraser to create a three episode series featuring local to Halifax businesses owners who are finding unique ways to ‘own’ their businesses and life.
