Recorded April 4, 2022.

Ceramicist Makeda Smith took a leap of faith during 2020 to start her own business. She had dabbled in ceramics in college, but when a friend saw her talent and encouraged her to take her creative side more seriously, she decided to accept the challenge. The acknowledgement and support she received from her community culminated in her own home art show called Funktion. From then on, Makeda was hooked. Since then she’s opened a storefront, and was able (with the blessing of her students) to leave her teaching career and become a full-time small business owner. Makeda has so many wonderfully encouraging things to say in this episode. Do not miss the chance to hear them; she’ll brighten your day and change your perspective.

To find more of Makeda’s work visit her website: www.sioceramics.com and

Instagram @sioceramics and her storefront at 716 Monroe Street NE Studio 11, Washington DC.
