Ayishat Akanbi (writer, cultural commentator, fashion stylist) and Mikhaila discuss how Ayishat has crafted her social media presence to address the cultural issues that are occurring internationally, how the United States has encouraged other nations and cultures to re-examine the way they handle similar situations (like those brought forth by the American-led Black Lives Matter). They also discuss the importance of resilience, being mentally-strong when the world around us can be so turbulent, and Ayishat’s career as a successful fashion stylist for male musicians. Check out Ayishat’s recently announced book!
