At Creative Mornings, attendees gather in cities around the world to enjoy fresh coffee, friendly people, and an international array of breakfast foods. Volunteer hosts and their team members organise local chapters that not only celebrate a city’s creative talent, but also promote an open space to connect with like-minded individuals. The growing archive of past breakfast talks is humbling. From design legends to hometown heroes, speakers are selected by each chapter based on a global theme. In 2017, I was invited to discuss how 'curiosity' led me to food blogging and helped me to carve out a career I love – and why single-use coffee cups incur my wrath.
