  • Jennifer Davis and Equality for All

    Jennifer Davis is a Cleveland-based painter, writer, mom, wife, and as authentic as they come.  Jennifer paints what pops into her soul and focuses primarily on black culture and what it means to exist in black bodies, with emphasis on black women and girls. She'll discuss with Fran what some of the obstacles are for mothers and for women of color who are doing the pivot to full-time as professional artists. If you are still running your art business on the side, you'll really find this episode interesting.
