11 MAR 2024 · Welcome to Art Talks with Rashad and Katie! Every month we discover a new creative in our community, feature them in our space during our 2nd Friday Artist Meetup, and interview them on our podcast. Today we’ll be interviewing Alexxandria Barksdale. Alexxandria Barksdale is a multidisciplinary creative who specializes in self-evolution coaching and spiritual consultations. Her creative work consists of visual arts, dance, and poetry, which are heavily influenced by her spiritual practices. Barksdale also hosts a podcast series called, “Musings with IndigoXX”. There, she discusses the nuances of self talk and the impact it subconsciously has on our everyday reality. Join us for a group breathwork exercise led by Barksdale at the end of this months episode!
