Dear Creatives,

Rest is also part of the hustle.

Freelancing can quietly change your relationship with rest. Because you are your own boss, there is often no fixed closing time, and the thought of taking a break can feel like you are leaving money on the table. You start seeing every free hour as an opportunity to work, forgetting that rest is not the opposite of productivity.

Remote work gives us the freedom to work from almost anywhere, but that freedom can quietly blur the line between work and life. When there is no office to leave, it becomes easy to carry work with you long after the day should have ended.

Sometimes, we convince ourselves that one more task, one more call or one more reply won’t hurt. But your mind needs space too. Constant availability is not the same as productivity.

Brethren,

Learn to shut down without guilt. The work will still be there tomorrow, but you need to be well enough to do it properly. So please, don't hesitate to take a nap whenever your body feels the need to.

Stay Jiggy!

Dear Creatives,

Master your craft, but never stop praying for grace.

Have you ever pitched for a project and lost it, only to see it given to someone you felt was less qualified? Have you ever wondered why some people in the same business seem to succeed more easily than others?

Sometimes, it is not just about skill. Grace and opportunity also play a part.

I have a cousin in Lagos who is a fashion designer. He has a friend who constantly gets briefs from big clients. His status is always filled with beautiful designs, yet he does not even have a tailor shop. He simply has access to opportunities that others may be praying for. While my cousin do the main work.

That is why, brethren, master your craft, but also pray for grace and favour. Be happy for those who are blessed, keep improving yourself, and never lose hope.

Your opportunity will come. In sha Allah!

Stay jiggy!

I just finished watching Colours of Fire: The Movie, and I must say it is a great concept, creative, refreshing and unlike anything I have seen in Nollywood. In many ways, I think it is a step ahead of the Persian themed House of Ga’a by Bolanle Austen Peters.

It is a beautiful story with a brilliant plot and excellent cinematography. But the set, costumes, fight choreography and movements felt very Indian to me. Kò jọ́ tí àwọn bàbá wa rárá.

What Niyi Akinmolayan and Bolanle Austen Peters have done in both movies is tell our stories in a form the world can easily embrace, especially through English. But what I find amusing is how our fashion sense is reinvented, the legacies of our heroes are rewritten, and real names and places are fictionalised. Not necessarily a bad thing, though.

My only concern is that while we entertain and cleverly sell Yoruba culture to the world, we must be careful about how much of our history and culture we are changing in the process. Films are gradually becoming a modern day archive of our culture, and in this age of AI, everything we create can easily become someone else’s reference point. You may be surprised when next you ask ChatGPT about traditional Yoruba war attire or fashion style and what you get as response is something straight out of these movies.

Dear Creatives,

Your expertise gives you an opinion. Your professionalism teaches you when to respect theirs. You’re not always wrong. Sometimes, you simply have to respect your client’s opinion.

A long-time client of mine (MAY GOD BLESS HIM) recently sent me a job and asked me to use a style he had once rejected. I couldn’t help but wonder, “If you rejected this style before, why do you want it now?” But then I realized that wasn’t really the point. Perhaps something had changed. Perhaps the style had finally made sense to him.

Knowing your craft means having an opinion, not imposing it. Give your clients your expertise and your best ideas, but respect their final choice.

At the end of the day, your job isn’t always to prove you’re right; it’s to understand what the client wants and deliver it exceptionally well.

Stay Jiggy!

Dear Creatives,

Be intentional about the people you surround yourself with and the spaces you create in. Toxic associates and unhealthy work environments can quietly drain your morale, confidence, and, eventually, your creativity.

I've learned that creativity thrives where there is room to think, experiment, make mistakes, and be heard. When you're constantly dealing with unnecessary drama, negativity, competition, or people who make you feel inadequate, you begin spending more energy protecting yourself than creating.

And that's the dangerous part. You may start questioning ideas you once believed in, holding back your voice, or losing the excitement that made you passionate about your craft in the first place. Sometimes, the problem isn't your creativity; it's the environment you've been trying to create in.

Protect your creative energy. Surround yourself with people who challenge your thinking, respect your process, and make you want to become better. Sometimes, rethinking your environment is all it takes to rediscover the creativity you thought you had lost.

Stay Jiggy!

Dear Creatives,

Something happened yesterday after I finished my Dear Creatives post for the day. I went to ChatGPT to generate an image for it. At least I get three images from AI every day, you too can try it. After a little back and forth, it gave me a picture. Then I remembered a feature that allows me to lock in my face. The result was disappointing.

This is not my first bad experience with AI, especially Meta. That one can be something else entirely, as many users can attest. But after some bickering, subtle apologies and plenty of back and forth, ChatGPT eventually gave me the graphic I used yesterday, with someone who actually looked like me. Lol!

Why am I sharing this, brethren?

First, check AI's results and cross check with another AI tool whenever possible. Do not assume that because a machine produced it, it must be right. AI can be confidently wrong, and sometimes very convincingly so.

Second, master your prompts. Be intentional with your words. The machine can only work with the direction you give it, and the clearer your instruction, the better your chances of getting the result you actually want.

Caveat: I am not an AI professional. I am a prolific scriptwriter, an erudite filmmaker and a professional video editor. I am simply learning, experimenting and sharing what I discover along the way.

Stay Jiggy!

Dear Creatives,

An experience yesterday once again reinforced the way I see value.

There is this canteen close to our studio where I usually eat. Everyone complains that it is expensive, but I keep going back because I understand what I am paying for. It is not because I have money to waste. I have simply tried other places, and experience has taught me that there is a difference between paying less and getting value.

Yesterday, an intern promised to take me somewhere that would offer the same experience for less. I was excited, so I followed him. Let me just say I was disappointed. You'll understand better, if I tell you I couldn't even eat the meat.

Anyways, my next stop for a proper meal will be my regular spot. Not because my budget has changed, but because they consistently solve my problem and give me value for my money.

Brethren,

This is exactly how I see our work as creatives. Do not just charge for what you do. Make sure what you deliver is worth what your client paid. And please, do not accept a budget that cannot sustain you, your craft, or your business just because you want the job. Some clients may complain about your price, but when they consistently experience real value, they will remember you, return to you, and recommend you. In Sha Allah!

Sometimes, the cheapest option is not the one that saves money. Value has a way of making people understand the difference. So, never compromise on quality to gain more clients.

Stay Jiggy!
