The creator of the 85mil series, Zay Monae, joins Qurissy for Episode 16! While many know Zay for her dynamic event photography, she’s so much more than that. We talk about what motivates her unique approach to capturing events and what she’s currently building behind the scenes. We also dive into her Black and Mexican heritage and how it informs her creative work—and even touch on a bit of inner child healing.

She puts us on to The Real Foundation, founded by her mother.
