This is the final episode of the season and I’m so excited to bring you this conversation. I sat down with singer, songwriter, voice actor and all-around creative Tomi also known as When She Speaks and we got into it. We delved into the process of creating her summer anthem ‘Hold On’ which currently has over 8000 views on YouTube. We also spoke about how she overcame anger and the process of navigating hurt and betrayal. This conversation was a testament to restoration and the power of love to help people heal and become the best versions of themselves.

This has got to be one of the most interesting conversations I’ve had on the podcast thus far. I spoke to Helen the Founder of Ajo Ale, a creative platform that uses arts and creative media to tell real stories about experiences lived by different Africans. The plan was to speak about African art and unpack her love for the art world.  However, the conversation panned out differently and we ended up exploring what it means to be a so-called different or alternative woman in different church spaces, and how that can impact a person’s experience in the church. The conversation was honest and the experiences shared got me thinking, what can the church do to create a safe space for individuals who don’t match the status quo?

For some school is a space where they experienced some of their fondest memories while for others it was incredibly challenging but what about those who sit in the middle. Today I speak to singer and songwriter Beth also known as Nova May as we take a trip down memory lane to reminisce about our school experiences questioning what did it mean to be popular? how did we deal with feelings of not belonging? and what was the journey like to overcome shyness?

Sometimes in order to appreciate the present, you have to reflect on the past. I hope that this episode urges you to reflect on your experiences and feel a sense of gratitude for how far you’ve come and feel compelled to work towards being your best self now.

I loved this conversation with Nova May and I’m sure you will too. Be sure to head over to @novamaymusic on Instagram to pre-save her debut pop single Pay For Your Love.
