I interview the one and only Samantha Thornhill, a writer, poet, and soulpreneur. We discuss Samantha's journey as an author, the conception and execution of her self-published journal "Black Unicorn Journal of Passions", her role in running the Aspirant Agency of Intuitive Talents, and her unique experiences as a traditionally published poet. We also touch on Samantha's role as a single mother and the culture of journaling where Samantha emphasises the need to normalise journalising within the community.
