Hello! For those that don’t know me, or haven’t seen my work before, I am the Editor-in-Chief of the Odyssey at IU East.

With over 1,200 communities across the nation and more than 14,000 content creators, it’s easy to miss or overlook a creator who is producing great content. As a way to help you make sure you’re not missing one of those creators right here in IU East, I plan to highlight someone from time to time that I think is creating exceptional content.

This week, that individual is Shore Crawford.

Shore has been with Odyssey since July. Week after week, Shore has consistently impressed me and inspired me with his well-written articles and thought provoking poems. I recently asked him what he's gotten out of creating content for Odyssey:

“I've gotten a lot from creating content for Odyssey. I've felt more comfortable putting my voice and experiences out there for my friends, family, peers and other people to see. I've gained a lot of self-empowerment from sharing my voice on topics that concern my community, and through publishing pieces that are really personal and special to me. I think it's helped me as a writer and poet. I've really enjoyed the time I've spent creating for Odyssey!,” he said.

Shore encompasses everything that an Odyssey content creator is and he is a true leader in his community.
