Texas Voices: You Are Only Just Beginning: A refresh for the journey ahead

Back in 2020, the algorithm of Instagram brought to my attention the watercolor and poetic musings of Morgan Harper Nichols, a mixed media artist deeply inspired by stories, conversations, and various moments of everyday life. During a time of my life where the world felt like such an isolating place due to the public safety restrictions of quarantine and my personal life seemed to be in such a state of disarray, I was able to find a communion of solace and light through Nichols’ posts. Three years of growth and countless thought-provoking reshares later, I see myself on the other side of the uncertainty that was weighing me down so heavily. I live a much more joyful, grateful life these days and I attribute much of the foundation of that new outlook to Nichols’ work.
