Description

A defining manual for artists, creators, and executives to manifest a career and a life you love, written by Wizard in a Tracksuit Kevin Morosky. Kevin shares stories and inspiration from the Black women who have most influenced his creative path and explores the ways we can pursue success by implementing their wisdom in all aspects of life.
Culture isnt a science; it is literal magic You have to live in it. You have to breathe it. This is a playbook for allowing your personal identity to live in and guide all parts of your creative enterprise.

Through a series of conversations which consider themes of work, love, friendship, family, spirituality, empathy, home, self-care, and creativity, filmmaker and creative director Kevin Morosky invites the Black women he considers his most trusted advisors, family, oldest friends, and biggest inspirations to reminisce on their journeys and reflect on the lessons they have learned on the way.

Through their stories, we explore how each of these figures have got to where they are today, while Kevin shares how they have helped shape his own life and career. Kevin breaks down the core elements of his own approach to work and life, so that others with similar backgrounds to him can feel seen and learn how to succeed in the creative world.
