And the Worst Manager for ANY Year Award Goes to….
“We are no longer tolerating ANY EXCUSE for calling off. If you’re sick, you need to come prove it to us. If your dog died, you need to bring him in and prove it to us.

The Twisted Tale of a Wilted White Rose.
Fresh. This tabula rasa of its sort was my chance to redeem myself. Show the world, and I, that I had purpose in living. Existing. I had become so much of a survivor, in the previous settling of events, that I had forgotten how much of 'me' I was initially.

What is the OG Collection?. Created with: OG Collection.
When the original team and founders of Creatd discovered the OG Collection back in 2012, it was immediately clear to them that the collection held a goldmine of photographic materials, unpublished papers and original artworks.
