This week, we' talking to the incredible Kitty Cash, a former top fashion PR in New York who traded in her day job to DJ full-time, going on to make music with the likes of SZA and Vic Mensa, work with Rihanna and tour the world with Chanel, Dior and Valentino. After touching on balancing secret Opening Ceremony DJ gigs during her lunch break and leaving the corporate world for the creative one, Kitty speaks so generously about growing up as a Black woman in America - from conversations she had with her mum as a child to being told by her career advisor that she’d never get the internship she wanted because of her skin colour. We discuss the part social media has played in the Black Lives Matter movement, her personal experiences with the US police force, the emotional and mental toll of the current climate and her hopes for what will happen moving forward. We hope you love this conversation as much as we loved having it.
