Finding Your Voice and Healing Through Art with Rae Luskin - 73

What if the very thing that wounded you held the key to your greatest power? In this episode of Leading Visionaries, host Anjel B. Hartwell interviews Rae Luskin, an award-winning author, artist, community activist, and creative mindfulness mentor whose four decades of work are dedicated to the transformative power of art for healing and empowerment. From the tender age of seven, when a promising art contest win took a dark turn with her artist grandfather's abuse, Rae’s life became a complex tapestry of artistic passion intertwined with deep trauma.

Learn how the pain itself became a catalyst, igniting her journey into using scribbles and doodles for personal healing and leading to the creation of her art school, Art and Soul Connections. Now, hear about her powerful new vision: a docuseries titled "Creative Activists Turning Pain to Purpose," dedicated to highlighting the healing, advocacy, and systemic change ignited by survivors of gender-based violence. Understand her unwavering belief in the importance of breaking silence and empowering others through shared stories and creative expression. Uncover the challenges she faced, from self-doubt to navigating a world that doesn't always welcome these vital narratives. But more importantly, be inspired by her resilience, her courage to ask for resources and connections, and her deep connection to the divine that fuels her visionary work.
