Her work may have been worn by Riz Ahmed, Jimmy Fallon, and shared across social media countless amounts of times, but it doesn’t stop her from taking risks, rebranding, and deepening her exploration in her craft. Our stranger today, EMMEN AHMED aka EMMENJAAN, talks to us about the highs and lows of her journey as an artist on social media. We talk to her about navigating cultural understanding, balancing school with a side business, how it all affects her mental health and personal life, and much more!

This is the 112th episode of Strange Flavors, brought to you by Alif Theory.
