I speak about what creativity makes possible when we take it seriously as part of human wellbeing.

About Michelle Rene Hill
WHO I SPEAK TO
I speak to educators, library systems, arts and cultural organizations, nonprofits, healthcare and wellbeing professionals, faith-based organizations, and other groups interested in how creative engagement can support people and communities.
WHAT TO EXPECT
My talks combine story, research, and practical experience. I’m interested in helping audiences see familiar questions differently and leaving with ideas they can use.
CURRENT WORK
I’m a researcher and facilitator completing an M.A. in Arts in Medicine at the University of Florida. My current work includes arts in health research, community programming, development of Athentikos’ Make-Break-Transform framework, and emerging inquiry into arts, disaster, and community resilience.

Speaking Topics
Cultivating Creative Capacity for Life, Work, and Community
A research-informed keynote about why creativity matters to human wellbeing, connection, adaptability, and meaning-making, and what becomes possible when we stop treating it as optional.
See the Work Differently
For educators, librarians, arts programmers, facilitators, and community organizations already doing creative work. This talk helps people recognize the wellbeing mechanisms already present in their programming, including attention, connection, expression, agency, and meaning-making, and think more intentionally about how to support them.
Make, Break, Transform
A talk about the value of controlled disruption in creative practice: what happens when people are given permission to alter, interrupt, dismantle, and remake something they have created.
From Research to Practice
How to translate arts and wellbeing research into usable programs, strategies, and facilitation choices without flattening the evidence or overclaiming outcomes.

Creativity isn’t a luxury,
it’s a lifeline.
Creativity isn’t self-indulgence, it’s how we stay human.
It restores connection where culture has created distance, meaning where systems have reduced us to output, and hope where urgency has taken root.
When we create, we remember who we are — and what we’re capable of becoming.
