In this episode of Raw + Rising, Helen Hayes Award-winning artist Hassiem Muhammad and frequent collaborator of Joushua's and Mike's dives deep into the lessons learned so far in his artistic journey. For instance, the creation of his series Angels of Uptown, funded and shot during the pandemic, the project exemplifies the grit and resourcefulness required of independent artists. Or his podcast, The Actor's Instrument, which is a valuable resource for anyone navigating the entertainment industry in 2025 and beyond. Hassiem shares insights on overcoming the fear of rejection, finding unexpected funding opportunities, and leading with passion to turn bold ideas into reality. His story highlights the importance of building relationships, embracing rejection, and staying determined—even when the path seems uncertain.
Hassiem also explores how the modern creative landscape, shaped by social media and entrepreneurship, offers both unprecedented opportunities and unique challenges. He encourages artists to align their work with their values, pursue their personal interests, and challenge traditional notions of success. By asking reflective questions like, “What would you create if no one could say no?” and “What would you do if you could retire tomorrow?” Hassiem inspires listeners to reimagine their creative journeys with purpose, passion, and perseverance.
