Creative Flow: Thinkers and Change Agents

Our fourteenth episode of the Creative Flow: Thinkers and Change Agents Podcast Series features Tabatha Mcnab discussing how she expresses her Creativity in food and cooking in so many ways.

Tabatha's creativity knows no bounds. From catering soul food dinners to running a daycare to writing a cookbook, she is passionate about connecting Creativity and food. She is completing her final semester for an MS in Creativity and Change Leaders at the Center for Applied Imagination, SUNY Buffalo State (SUNY).

Tabatha describes how she found a love of food at a young age by cooking and being in the garden with her grandmother. Cooking for her father at seven years old started her on a path that she continues today as a graduate student with her master's project. She is working on a 20-30 -page children's cookbook with recipes and more called Tabfabulous Kid Friendly Cookbook. It features a scratch and sniff and touch and feel concept for the fruits and vegetables. Most importantly, it will help them understand nutrition and enjoy making meals.

She shares how studying creativity has helped her personally and alos all of the people she connects with in her professional work and community service. She always incorporates food in unique ways, including a creative cooking presentation and demonstrating creative thinking styles. She wants to earn a Master's Degree in nutrition and a Ph.D. in psychology in the future.

Tabatha sees the Science of Creativity going around the world and being a force for empowering people to be all they can be.
