the vision

starts here

1 Peter 4:10

God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.

From One Event to a Movement

What started as a single panel discussion in Augusta in 2025 has grown into something far greater than we imagined. Called to Create began with a simple idea:

What does it look like to fully step into your creativity and bring what’s inside you to life?

That one conversation sparked a movement. One that continues to grow as more creatives choose to develop their ideas, share their work, and build with intention.

Our Story

Our founding team came together through timing that felt both unexpected and aligned.

Paro and Alycee first connected in 2017, collaborating on creative projects and fashion shows. Years later, Alycee reconnected with De’Anya in 2025, and what started as renewed friendship quickly turned into a shared vision.

What seemed like chance became collaboration. Three creatives brought together by a mutual passion for building meaningful work and creating spaces where others can do the same.

We Believe:

Creativity is more than a skill, but it’s also a powerful tool for impact
Ideas deserve structure, support, and execution
Community is essential for growth and accountability
Every creative has the ability to build something meaningful and sustainable

Our approach is rooted in purpose, intentionality, and stewardship while remaining accessible to creatives from all backgrounds, experiences, and belief systems.

Moving Forward

From one panel to a growing community, Called to Create has evolved into a space where creativity meets development, and ideas turn into action.

We’re not just building a community, we’re building a pipeline for creatives to grow, launch, and sustain their work in the real world.
