A2H #2 | Finding Self-Love in the Small Things with Nobody Flowers

Art 2 Heart

• Are there parts of yourself that you dislike so much that it prevents you from having a positive relationship with yourself? Is self-care something that you have distanced yourself from because you thought it wasn’t for you? In this episode of Art 2 Heart, Nobody Flowers shares a poem called Nappy, which highlights his animosity towards his hair, and how his hair ultimately became a gateway to intimacy and learning just how life changing a simple act of self-care can be.
  He also reveals what his experience was like being a poet in the military, and how his effort to set boundaries indirectly reunited him with his voice, and the influence that has had on his art today. Other topics include:
  
  • what men can learn from women on self care
  • how a strong imagination as a child became his foundation as an artist
  • how minority groups have a lot more in common than we think
  • the similarities between Corporate America and the Black experience
  • the power of storytelling and how that helps you connect to yourself and others

Nobody Flowers is a self-published poet living in Long Beach, CA. He moved here from the East Coast with his cousin and a friend, and has made a home for himself with his passion for art and serving the community. He spends most of his free time crafting his talents as an artist and a writer.
