We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Miz Thr33. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Miz Thr33 below.

Miz Thr33, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.

From a very young age, I felt a strong connection to creativity, Fueled mainly by my experiences as an only child. Growing up as an only child, my imagination endless. I would spending countless hours playing pretend dress-up and putting on fashion shows with my cousins. These moments were magical I choreographed dances and even created our own entertainment business. It was never about seeking fame; instead, it was about the joy of creating and expressing myself.

As I entered college, my passion for creativity continued even further. I majored in Mass Communications, where I discovered my interest in Radio, Film, and Television. It was here that I truly fell in love with theater, engaging in every aspect from acting to set design, and I was often told I had been bitten by the acting bug. My love for dance also emerged, prompting me to sign up for every class I could find. However was not the most coordinated but still loved every bit of it. While I eventually shifted my major to Organizational Communications, my commitment to art and creativity never wavered.

Miz Thr33, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Writing has always been my main love, and I discovered this passion at a challenging time in my life. A friend introduced me to the characters of her book, and I quickly fell in love with the story, contributing ideas and insights. This collaboration led to me co-writing alongside her, and although our story, which totaled 996 typed pages, was never published, it marked the beginning of my creative journey. We went on to self-publish a collection of short stories in 2009 under the pen name Dominique Blaze.

Life took many turns after that, and while my passion for writing waned, my creativity never ceased. A humorous turn of events led me to my current role as the host of the Smoke Friendly Podcast. Throughout my life, I’ve often been told I had a knack for humor, secretly aspiring to be a stand-up comedian. I always put this dream on hold, telling myself I would pursue it after my children finished school or somehow convincing myself not to follow through.

However, a conversation with a coworker about his entrepreneurial journey in music and podcasting reignited my interest. I shared my dream of being a comedian, which eventually led to an invitation to join his show as a writer and then as a host. Even though we are still in the early stages, I truly believe the podcast has the potential to grow beyond our expectations.

I am continually inspired by the creators I connect with and, as a newcomer to the social media content creation space, I’m learning quickly. I want to inspire others while having fun and connecting through storytelling and humor.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

For me, it’s all about self-expression and the profound connection it allows with people through art. It’s truly inspiring to witness the moment when someone becomes moved or inspired by the work, reminding me why I create in the first place.

Facilitating art is such a rewarding journey through imagination; it allows exploration of various emotions. I’ve always believed that a creative’s job is to evoke a spectrum of feelings in the audience—laughter, tears, anger, and everything in between. When done well, art can take them on a seamless journey through all human emotions, creating a powerful shared experience.

In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?

I believe that art is timeless, necessary, and inspirational. It’s crucial for us to support our local artists and art programs, especially those aimed at youth.

Funding for the restoration of art programs within public schools and parks and recreation for youth can make a significant difference. These programs nurture creativity and provide essential outlets for self-expression.

Moreover, I would like to emphasize that art can be abstract and is often just beauty in the eye of the beholder. In our current times, it feels as if art has suffered due to the fear of offending others. I urge us all to support our creatives by allowing art to be art again and to embrace its freedom.

Let’s advocate for a society that celebrates creativity and supports its artists so that we can inspire future generations.
