In association with Oklahoma State. Creativity is about the ability to speak your ideas into the world through whatever medium inspires you. I created this magazine as a catalyst to draw from art, poetry, fashion, the written word, global endeavors, and so much more inside the brilliant minds of Oklahoma State University’s students and alumni. I want to connect to other creatives by diving into their journeys and passion projects, inspiring them to showcase their work and giving them a voice to express their creativity. Whatever it is, let your ideas be spoken. As my time at the greatest university begins to draw to a close, I find myself nostalgic and reminiscent about the times and people who have made the past six years I have spent at OSU the most magical years of my life. The creative lifeblood that flows through the individuals around me has taught me more than I could have ever imagined about what it truly means to be a visionary artist and creator. Thus, as my love letter goodbye, I wanted to highlight their achievements and ways to ease the path to such greatness with the flagship issue of “Spoke.” May it encourage you to attack each day with tenacity and lead you to savor every moment while you can. Take a look at what we had to say.
