"I found Christal's Steps & Stages on social media and heard the artist, the advocate, and the activist all came together in one beautiful mentoring voice. Through listening to Christal's monologues I have come to appreciate that Christal possess a rare combination of humility, honesty, and compassion. She is a brilliant and embodied artist, and to know her is to seek to be the same - living in truth, living in creativity, and following a path of self and community discovery. She is a gem and I have the utmost respect for her craft and her leadership."

"a mentor who grabbed my attention and continues to deliver new schools of thought that challenge the way I engage with myself and the world"

— Will Ervin, MFA Candidate

"I am wholeheartedly grateful for the time, energy, support, and spirit that Christal devoted to working in solidarity with us throughout our four-week course. She not only was a phenomenal course facilitator, but she also molded a space which made me feel wholly welcome to express myself in an unguarded way in the company of my peers. This is tough to do over a Zoom call; Christal nailed it."

— Attendee, DreamBuilding for Artists
