S6E3 - Storytelling Through Poetry and Music (with Alyssa Stewart)
Alyssa Michelle Stewart joins Terrance for a wide-ranging conversation about poetry, songwriting, performance, photography, and the family and cultural roots that shaped her creative life. She shares how storytelling shows up across her work, why poetry and songs feel different in her process, and how she approaches teaching, performing, and staying open to inspiration. We discuss how she moved from family traditions and childhood media into writing and music, what it means to create with seasonal awareness, and why supporting local artists matters. Alyssa also reflects on vulnerability, candid photography, and the idea that you are every age you have ever been.
