Creatrixes of Awesome: Come join us!
Photo by TheGiantVermin on FlickrThe Creatrixes of Awesome are people from various fields and walks of life who have created something truly awesome. Whether it is a form of art they practice regularly, or a once-off event, or a little ditty on Youtube - all forms of creation are respected and welcomed.
Each creatrix is given the same set of questions to answer (coupled with some lovely photos, a short profile/bio, and relevant links):
What did/do you create?
Why did/do you decide to pursue this creative mode?
What did/do you do to get your creations made and out there?
When did/do you create? Is this something you do regularly?
What does being a Creatrix of Awesome mean to you?
Share with us some of what you feel is Awesome:

And here’s the extra-fun part: each interview is accompanied with a step-by-step guide to creating something awesome, from the Creatrixes themselves! It can be directly related to their creation (such as a filmmaker’s guide to making short film) or totally offbeat (a porn star’s favourite recipe for chocolate cake). That way, you can join in on creating your own awesome too!
Creatrixes of Awesome is committed to portraying diversity in all forms, and to prioritise people & voices that are often marginalised in society - across cultures, nationalities, genders, sexual orientations, class barriers, occupations, and so on.
To join in the fun, submit an interview of yourself (or someone else) with the following:
- A short profile (who you are, where you’re from, anything else - it’s up to you)
- Links to you, your work, and anything else that seems relevant
- Photos - at least one of you or your work, but more’s good too!
- The answers to these interview questions
- Your own step-by-step guide to creating something awesome - it can be as (un)related to your work as you wish!
Be as verbose or concise as you wish! There are no wrong answers! Don’t worry if you don’t think you’re awesome enough or famous enough or “creatrix” enough - everyone’s welcome.
Feel free to send in questions or suggestions for who to interview, check out how else you can help this project, and share share share!
Thank you! <3
