Do you consider yourself a nomad? Are you concerned with housing issues around the world? Does the movement of people fascinate you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, Creative Mornings may be for you. CreativeMornings is a free monthly breakfast lecture series for creative communities worldwide, offering an accessible platform for individuals to gather, connect, and be inspired.

As part of the event with Creative Mornings: Atlanta, we created this watchlist to get everyone in the "nomadic" spirit. We also heard from Atlanta Habitat for Humanity President and CEO, Rosalyn Merrick about the great work they are doing to improve housing insecurity in Atlanta.
