Food for Thought (Shownotes):
Today’s fun and meaningful episode with co-hosts Sari and Lauren will have you craving ice cream and will boost your craving to make a soulful impact on others in your own unique way.
Are you one of the 3+ million people who now follow Amanda Gorman after being moved by her original poem? We are both very inspired by her and her work, so we named part of this episode after a line in her poem, which also embodies the mission of Creative Cravings podcast. Through the lens of creative expression, we dive into our thoughts on the events of Inauguration 2021 and we share our perspectives on celebrating small and big moments.
Why did we personally create this episode? Because communicating through this podcast is one of the ways we get to express ourselves and create art that imitates life. We’re excited to be “twin tastemakers” and share with you some cool ways other creators have been inspired by the her-story making events, from food to fashion to illustration.
Ready to co-create a movement together? Join in to be a meaningful part of our #bethelightchallenge2021 inspired by Amanda Gorman’s powerful poem.
Share this episode with anyone who would love to eat some White House Chocolate Chip ice cream with you, while chatting about chasing your cravings in life.

Join our #bethelightchallenge2021 (inspired by Amanda’s poem) on @creative.cravings Instagram or on Facebook
Here’s how it works:
On your Instagram or Facebook, post a photo of you with someone who brings light or has brought light to your life. Feel free to write whatever you’d like in your caption, but please make sure to include #bethelightchallenge2021. Also, be sure to tag @creative.cravings in your caption so we can see it and be sure to tag the person mentioned in your post, so they know that you’re thinking of them.
Share your original post to your Story, and tag someone you wish to spread some light to (this is the person you are nominating). This is how you will “pass the torch” and keep it going!
Example:
I post of photo of me with my mom (or one of me and one of my mom). Caption: “My mom is a light in this pandemic because she’s a hardworking dentist who wears ton of PPE to protect herself, staff, family, and her patients.” I tag @creative.cravings so we both see it, and tag her so she can see it.
After posting, I share it to my Story and tag Lauren to nominate her to spread the light!
Make as many posts as you’d like and tag anyone who lights up your life! Could be a mentor, friend, someone who’s podcast or work you admire, a pet, anyone who makes you laugh, someone who inspires you… We hope to build a community of inspiring people who are bringing light to one another, through this hashtag #bethelightchallenge2021!
