LUV

LUV

by Noemi Capote "Mimi"

Lori Moilov is a Poet, Musician, Singer-songwriter, Producer, Mixer, and Rapper, based in L.A. She’s a published author and host of the Limitless Creativity podcast. Her former stage name is BEEZEE, changing it to LUV to connect more with her name, Moilov – highlighting LOVE as the essential element in life and in all we are and do.

Through her podcast, Limitless Creativity, Lori supports other artists and their ideas, and she wants us to feel encouraged by their heartfelt stories. Covering topics such as mental health, and healing tools like EFT, the episodes include an A-list of successful creatives such as Claudia Cagan, Alexander Seyum, and Becky Kekula, to mention a few, sharing the ups and downs that have shaped them as artists.

Another big passion of Lori is poetry, publishing her first book of poems, Glitter Out, available at Barnes & Noble. Lori took it upon herself to write one poem a day for 100 days based on the different experiences and encounters she had during those days, including one inspired by songwriter Diane Warren.

Lori has the most incredible anecdotes about her journey as a Creative Soul, particularly about how she got started in her music career. “You gotta hear her rap,” Lori’s friend Phoenix suggested at a party bragging all about Lori’s beautiful and distinctive pitch full of enthusiastic vibes. Someone threw a beatbox leading the way for Lori to rap on the spot and make love to the words that made everyone join in the groove. Once she tapped into that part of her soul, the musician in her began to flourish and she went on to record her first single, #Honey, released on July 4, 2013. Currently, Lori is focusing on remixing and mastering her 2022 catalog, which includes 22 of her singles. She’s also going to be releasing new songs including, So Fresh and So Lit, available to stream everywhere.

Lori attended Westlake Recording Studios Crē8 Music Academy to learn how to produce music, and she has been doing it for over a decade. Since the pandemic, Lori started to learn about sync opportunities, taking workshops such as Sync Secrets with Ash, to shape her songs for film, and TV music licensing opportunities. 

Most recently, Lori was endorsed by Audeze; she currently uses the LCD-5 headphones, a great opportunity to help level up the production of her songs.

She also got into the New Media Film Festival for her song “Kindness,” a song about how important it is to be kind to each other. It was inspired by the isolation that many went through during the pandemic, but getting messages from friends who kept checking in on her showed how valuable kindness is. She adds that ”being kind is vital. One simple act of kindness can have a ripple effect in our lives, and I’m grateful to return that kindness to others.”

LUV line is her brand’s clothing line, motivating us to spark the whole world with our ideas, while wearing the coolest and coziest apparel with a variety of options from hoodies, and t-shirts, to caps. 

Lori is an outstanding creative entrepreneur and artist, and everything she has put forth has added so much positivity and beauty to our world, and there’s much more to come. In any way she expresses her creativity, Lori can make us feel engaged, heard, and seen, and she can make us laugh and cry – in a good way – reminding us that we are made of Love and we are undeniably Limitless.

LUKE LEVI

LUKE LEVI

by Noemi Capote "Mimi"

The art of poetry is the rhythm of words dancing to the emotions etched in the depths of the writer’s soul. Whatever the muse is, a poet can elevate their meaning with verses that express joy, sorrow, rage, courage, and so many other emotions. Creative Soul, Luke Levi, reveals his deep connection with the fauna and the flora around him, inspiring him to write some of the most incomparable poems anyone can read.

Luke Levi is a writer, poet, photographer, and author, based in Austin, Texas. He became interested in poetry during high school and gravitated toward novels and short fantasy stories. He became a full-time writer and has been published in several magazines.

He can be considered one of the top writers and storytellers in the field of haiku poetry, as well as a top-notch writer and storyteller. He’s one of those writers who makes you fall in love with poetry, imbuing our souls with his tender imagination. Luke’s latest book, “So Fragile Are The Beautiful Things” is a compilation of his poetry, including some haiku, available in print and as an e-book. 

Luke’s creative soul flows to the beat of Mother Nature. He writes about his experiences while being held in the arms of the wind or witnessing a vulture’s mighty flight. His poetry describes the delicacy of a flower, the grandiosity of a tree, and the curiosity of a bird – he has a way of encapsulating those special moments, lost in nature, and making us feel as if we’re there, hearing the buzz of a bee or feeling the sun setting in our hearts. 

Universal and spiritual concepts are a big part of Luke’s poetry, integrating ideas of life and death, sadness and hope. Luke explains that “people are part of nature,” and his graceful poetry helps us experience the essence of Gaia, with its moments of beauty, pain, transformation, and re-birth.

Luke combines his passion for photography and poetry to share eye-catching posts on his social media platforms. He is a kind and humble soul, and reading his work fills the spirit with instant wonder.

“Be who you are. Learn who you are,” this is Luke’s message to the world. It is a reminder that we should give ourselves the chance to get to know all parts of ourselves, understand what we want in this life, and work diligently to achieve our goals. Remembering that we are part of something magnificent – we are nature and nature is us.

SUNNY STRANGE

SUNNY STRANGE

by Noemi Capote "Mimi"

There is a new generation of Creative Souls that is longing for oneness, making us aware that we don’t need to be categorized, divided, or pin-pointed down. And every so often an artist comes along to be the face and the voice of that union. Sunny Strange is here to show us through her captivating art forms how we can be one community with one heartbeat, not worrying about our identity but embracing our authenticity.

Sunny Strange is a photographer, model, and writer – a multifaceted Creative Soul from South Florida. Sunny is a nonbinary Creative Soul, who identifies with all genders. For purposes of this article, I will refer to Sunny Strange as she/her, though they/she/he is here to represent everyone. 

Sunny was a poet before she even began to write, reciting poems to her mom, who would help her write down her precious lines and stories. She attended Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts in West Palm Beach, Florida, focusing her creative path on writing and communication arts. Being in a creative environment helped her hone her skills and expand as an artist, presenting great opportunities for growth.

“Being a Creative Soul has encouraged me to open up to every art form, and not limit myself to any specific medium or concept. I try to have a growth mindset and expand my talents across a full spectrum of ideas and emotions and turn it into art. I think anything and everything can be art in some way.”

Photography has been one of Sunny’s favorite creative outlets, specializing in portraits. She enjoys captivating people in their humanity – showing in raw form the emotional state they are invoking and capturing the unique personal essence of the subject. Going hand in hand with her modeling career, she unfolded her creative talents simultaneously. Modeling feels natural for her, channeling a vibe, alchemizing the emotions she brings to life through her beauty, getting lost in her aquamarine eyes and mesmerizing essence.

Her current project, Laundry Day, is her debut as a director. It is a film she wrote in collaboration with Corey Wayne (Producer, Writer, Director) and Joshua Lee Bashknight (Producer, Editor) about the world of socks on laundry day and their perception of their world as a way to compare our global circumstances. She has shared many other creative projects on her charming Instagram profile, and we can stay up to date by following her @sunny.strange.

Sunny also had the privilege of collaborating with Anouk Wipprecht, a fashion tech designer from The Netherlands now based out of Miami. Sunny modeled two of Anuok’s cutting-edge fashion dresses, the “EEG incorporated Pangolin Dress,” featured on the League of Extraordinary Makers for Channel News Asia, and the “Drink Bot Dress,”  featured at the Science Center’s 60th Anniversary Makers Gala.  Working with Anouk really showed Sunny that there is a whole world of modeling and fashion that isn’t just the typical beauty standard– there is a place in fashion for people who are innovating and breaking the mold, doing stuff that’s high concept, highly creative, and even a little weird.

“I am All and I am One.”

To Sunny, we are more than just the physical body. We are energy, we are spirit, we are vibrations. We are the divine feminine and the divine masculine all at the same time in one body. 

“We are expected to fit a particular role in society but this can set us up for failure and it blurs the identity of our souls with what is acceptable vs. what is not, and if it is not true to who we really are.” Sunny explains. “We can lose ourselves in the expectations of society and feel burdened by other people’s thoughts.”

Sunny believes that as conditioned as we are to follow titles and rules, we can also break those rules and change those titles to create more union and harmony amongst us. “We can either be followers of rules that are designed to constrain, fill hearts with guilt and shame, torture the mind and soul, or we can simply break free from it all.” She draws inspiration from the Drag community because they represent the open expression of who we truly are without the need to fit into a particular role. 

“But art is a way to break free from the guilt, shame, and constraints that we are expected to follow. Art is a way to blur the lines of what is or isn’t accepted. Art is creation and art can create change.”

Part of the reason why life can get so complex is that we can find it hard to understand each other. Not that we shouldn’t have boundaries with certain people, but to have the capacity to accept everyone for who they are. Except for the evil few, there’s a deep meaning in accepting each other, no matter what our personal preferences are, at any level. 

“Try opening up and expressing yourself in a unique way. Be authentic and a beacon of light and share it with others. Be yourself, don’t be afraid to do so, and share your creativity with the world. Whatever it means for you, find out what it is and explore it and do it, embrace it.” This is Sunny’s heartfelt message to the world, and it motivates us to care less about titles and identities, and care more about appreciating who we are.

Even if we don’t all agree on someone’s personal preferences to be identified as this or that, we are all made of the same essence, Divine love. Sunny Strange is a fascinating artist, inspiring us to awaken our inner divinity and free ourselves from imposed rules that go against the calling of our Creative Souls: to be free, to simply be, let be, and create.

“Even if it’s shitty art, who cares, create. Art is art, and it is the expression of our creative souls, and it cannot be judged as good or as bad because it is not supposed to be good or bad. It is just supposed to exist, to be created by us, to be shared.” — Sunny Strange

POETICLEE

POETICLEE

by Noemi Capote "Mimi"

What makes us who we are? Are our origins affecting us negatively or positively? We live in an era where it is easy to access our ancestral lineage and learn from it. Sometimes, learning from our origins can serve as the catapult to break free from any chains and liberate the light of the Creative Soul. Bennie Lee Williams III has taken all the pieces from his ancestors and created a beautiful space for all of us to feel anew and find a way to transform all past transgressions into something magnificent – into something poetic.

Lee is a poet, singer, rapper, producer, and Creative Entrepreneur, founder of Poeticlee. From poetry, music, and articles to courses, Poeticlee is a unique and user-friendly platform with many opportunities for Creative Souls to take advantage of, including joining them as a writer. We can also join their tribes, such as Creators Cre8, Intuitive Feels, Sacred Sexuality with Innana Rose, and Black Families Heal.

Lee’s creativity burst when he was a pre-teen, and while in high school, he started producing beats, living up to his passion for music. Combined with a fantastic creative flow, having an entrepreneurial mindset keeps Lee putting ideas together, taking risks, and sharing them with the world. He has released three music projects, Here For Now (Album), H.O.P.E. (EP), and Crossroads: From Hell to Heaven (Album). 

As a poet, Lee feels that he is not the owner of the words. He’s simply the conductor – like a river flowing without resisting the current. Lee has been writing romantic and R&B poetry, creating new rhymes, melting his soul in deep emotions that allow him to give birth to powerful verses filled with magic. Whether he is giving a speech, singing a song, or reading his poems, Lee’s voice carries a divine tune that is beyond spectacular.

In 2013, Lee launched his first podcast, The Image Podcast, back when people would scratch their heads at the sound of podcasts, “Ah!?” This podcast helped college students build their brands and present themselves well, depending on their careers. He tried to make sure that young souls understood how unique they were, inspiring them to go after their dreams with intention and purpose.

Lee continues with his drive to assist others in their journey, to help them heal and fill their days with light, and with his digital content network, Lotus XTV, Lee covers various topics, including Men Healing and discovering their divine feminine and masculine energy, Civic comprehension, and Moral activism empowering creators. 

Understanding how overwhelming social media can be for Creative Souls and how easy it is for our art to get lost in the midst of it, Lee sought an opportunity and created Poeticlee. Through Poeticlee, Lee inspires a universal connection for personal development, artistic expression, and spiritual transcendence. Poeticlee is designed to inspire healing, personal development, and spiritual exploration through art, online courses, and discussion as a community for creatives to support each other. This site is intended to be a sacred space where self-creation, evolution, and preservation can be sustained. 

“It takes starting something and transforming it into something useful,” Lee explains. He is an excellent example of creating something extraordinary out of the roughest of experiences. He’s taken his ancestor’s pain and his own past mistakes and molded them into a piece of art worthy of admiration. 

“Glow and grow, even in the darkest moments, don’t stop glowing. Don’t try to get out of the box; instead, illuminate the box you’re in,” this is Lee’s message to the world. He is giving us the tools to help our Creative Souls to transcend beyond our lack and pain. Lee is turning our lives into a beautiful poem.

Lee speaks for the voiceless, helping us open our eyes and stop blindly following beliefs and patterns that keep us condemned. We owe our families to shift our perceptions to higher and divine levels and change our mindset, customs, doctrines, healing techniques, and even laws. Lee is here to guide us through the path of enlightenment with his dreamy voice, powerful music, and wisdom. He’s here to heal our Creative Souls and set them free.
