The Reset Podcast: #29DaysOfMagic
Every February, my friend and colleague Laura Mignott does a 28 (or 29) Days of Magic podcast series where she interviews a different Black woman a day about their career paths to commemorate Black History Month. After 2 years of us wrangling schedules, we finally sat down last week to dish.
Listen in to my conversation with Laura Mignott on The Reset Podcast: #29DaysOfMagic. On it we explore my career journey and my path to design. I talk about my time living in and around Western Europe where I noticed when people realize that I'm an African American, they treat me much differently than before when thinking that I was just from Africa. Laura and I touch on my family escaping a coup in Nigeria, becoming an artist again, and we take a deeper dive into thoughts on inclusivity, empathy and much more.
