How are you making a difference?
Artist Vanessa German heard gunfire in her Pittsburgh neighborhood, and decided that she couldn’t sit by and let children keep dying. Founding “Love Front Porch” and Homewood’s Art House, she is also the woman behind the “STOP SHOOTING, WE LOVE YOU” yard signs.
Her talk at Pittsburgh’s CreativeMornings is a powerful one, speaking on bravery. “Everything I learned about bravery, I learned through love.”
“Social responsibility starts at home with all of us.”

To celebrate the end of another fantastic CreativeMornings year we thought we’d continue last year’s tradition and turn the mic to you, our audience. We sent out an open call for anyone interested to apply to speak at CM this month in NYC, London, Milan or Geneva.
Our second speaker at the December 2012 CreativeMornings/NewYork was Holley Murchison.
Based in Brooklyn, NY, Holley Murchison is an entrepreneur passionate about social change. She is the co-founder of the Hall Pass Tour, a nationwide K-12 concert series designed to get underserved youth excited about leveraging higher learning to pursue their dreams.
The event was generously hosted by Galapagos Art Space in DUMBO, Brooklyn.
A big thank you to Ben Hallman for filming and editing.
I see software as the testing ground for the future, a place where we can put on our training wheels and get our ethics right and develop cultural and social norms for how technology should relate to humans.

When you design tools that other people use, you are a social engineer, not just a software engineer.

The more you document your own life… the more you start to step out of those moments, and if you do that too much, you become a spectator to your own life.
