Meet the Founder
Amanda Stephen
After a decade of working as an actress and non-profit leader, Amanda noticed there was a need for a supportive space for multifaceted artists, entrepreneurs, creatives, cultural leaders and those pursuing purpose/passion driven work, especially ones wearing many hats…
Hence the creation of Creative Plus Club LLC, better known as Creative+.
Amanda Stephen is the former Director of the Poughkeepsie Performing Arts Academy, a Teaching Artist and a SAG-AFTRA & Equity actress best known for her groundbreaking role as Alison Abdullah in Netflix's hit series Orange Is The New Black. Click HERE to learn more about Amanda.
