On this episode we chat with Kashira Dowridge. Kashira describes herself as a woman with an intuitive heart- based in Detroit, MI, original territory of the Ojibwe, Odawa, Potawatomi people. Her practice highlights the world's current issues and her inner development. Kashira explores various dynamics of psychology and the well-being of others with intentionality. She is a self-taught artist  and aspires to finish her BFA to deepen her knowledge during her transition from working exclusively in photography and film to a more interdisciplinary approach.

A Quick note: Between the 15:00 and 18:00 minute mark there is a discussion about gun violence that some may find challenging.
