If Your Home Doesn’t Reflect Your Culture, Something’s Missing

Same neutral walls, same trending furniture, same safe choices. This is more than a design problem; it's identity on mute.
Kadija Taylor is a holistic interior designer with roots in Sierra Leone and Liberia, and the founder of Home and Sanctuary. Her philosophy is simple: if someone walks into your home and can't tell you live there, something's wrong.
In this episode, Kadija and Elleyne explore why culturally fluid people erase themselves from their own spaces, how your design choices at home change how you show up in the world, and why chasing trends is the fastest way to lose yourself in your own house.
Topics discussed:
00:00 - Introduction
02:50 - Kadija’s journey: from real estate to design
05:46 - What "holistic interior design" actually means
08:31 - How your home reflects you (whether you realize it or not)
13:02 - Bold moves, color, and identity
21:07 - The Trinidad and Tobago Tablescape
36:47 - How to design your own cultural tablescape
