Sam Thousand

Chicago hip-hop artist & producer Neak has joined forces with Slvrm to create an intimate space (monthly) for creatives to come together, network, and hear wisdom/insight from trailblazers within the creative community. This month, we'll take a deep dive into Brand Identity: Putting yourself out there as an artists. We have four highly-qualified and excellent panelists who will take part in our conversation: Dreana Johnson: International DJ | Inspirationalist - @dreanajohnson Boi Jeanius: DJ | Producer | Instructor | Mentor - @boijeanius Sam Thousand: Musician | Curator | Director - @samthousand Ami: Artist - @amimusic_ Conversation moderated by Neak: Artist/Producer/Curator/Designer - @neak_undefined Live performance also by Boi Jeanius. Event sponsored by The Simple Good: Non-profit organization empowering youth activism through art and the meaning of #thesimplegood. Proceeds will be donated toward TSG's innovative Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Mindfulness-based Arts Residency Program, which helps youth to cope with trauma, build resilience, and practice empathy. By identifying, expressing, and sharing their (youth) meaning of "good" with art, students learn the power of positive expression and connection. - @thesimplegood
