She also co-hosts a weekly gathering of published authors known as "The Writers' Support Group," with bestselling author Lainey Cameron.

THIS EVENT WILL BE HELD AT THE HOLLYWOOD MAILMAN BUILDING AUDITORIUM (2ND FLOOR) ON THE CAMPUS OF NOVA SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY - NOT THE ALVIN SHERMAN LIBRARY THIS MONTH.
CreativeZen Talks was born out of a desire for Choose954 to connect, engage, and inspire our local creative community with support from Nova Southeastern University's Alvin Sherman Library and their Circle Of Friends board. We open the doors 30 minutes before the talk starts to mix, meet, and mingle with fellow likeminded members of our community.
Every Creative Zen event includes a complimentary guided meditation before a short inspiring and thought provoking talk during the second Friday morning of the month. All Creative Zen events are free of charge and open to the community, being creative is not required!
We hope you find the inspiration you're looking for through these stories as we did, which is why we pay it back and pay it forward by continuing these events for FREE! #CreativeZen #Choose954
