I’m Amiya Marshall, Associate Podcast Producer and Interviewer from St. Olaf College. I’m from Berkeley, CA. I believe storytelling gives life to the realities of others. It allows the readers to empathize with those who are having experiences similar to them and sympathize with those they cannot relate to at all. It presents new ideas and perspectives to the audience to be pondered and stimulate thought. Moving creatively presents a challenge for the creator. It tests the limits and boundaries of how one perceived their abilities or the way things are done and ultimately transforms society as a whole. As someone who has interacted with many people and loves to hear the stories of others.
Through The Creative Process, I am furthering my skills as a writer and interviewer. I am currently anchoring interviews with Siri Hustvedt and Nicole Fleetwood, two writers who have contributed so much to our understanding of visual culture, feminism, and social justice issues. It’s an opportunity to develop new skills and strengthen my existing ones. I’m looking forward to collaborating on interviews regarding industrial design amongst many other topics with The Creative Process. I have previously done a lot of work with philanthropy and fundraising for charitable causes.
