To be an African child is to know that - in your community's eye - you will never measure up. There will always be that auntie or uncle, mom or dad, cousin or distant relative who feels the need to point out how you fall short compared to your counterparts.




In this episode, we delve into the hard knock life of never living up to expectations and being compared to anyone and everyone, no matter how well you think you are doing.




Can you relate?

On our season finale, we reflect on the making of our Season 6, the journey from our start in 2020 and our goal for Season 6 - celebrating the work of black women and giving flowers where it’s due.



We had the pleasure of recording this season at Bittersweet Studios (@bittersweet.studios_)

S06E11 - S6 Season Finale.... Final Goodbye (?!)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/1f115db6-4b7e-4a52-ad21-b2b200f79922/transcript

For this episode, we got to sit down with multi-hyphenate rapper / singer / lawyer / voice actor, Simba Mak. While we are celebrating women and our soft-era, we felt it important to get a man’s perspective on life and its complexities.

Simba sat down with us to talk about his journey from Zimbabwe to Australia, the acknowledgement that nobody is self-made, and the complexities of creative duality and how he juggles that. 

 

Keep up with Simba and all he’s up to:

S06E10  - Delve deeper into... Creative Duality with Rapper/Musician/Lawyer Simba Mak

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/7ad9adf6-3d32-4ef0-9233-b2b200f33059/transcript

We’re going behind the curtain on this episode as we discuss what goes into being a musician, especially one that hails from Zimbabwe -the actual hustle and grind of pursuing artistry. 

 

We were joined by the dynamic and incredibly talented Niasha on this episode and we went into the layers of following artistic passion whilst also maintaining a 9 - 5 and what it was like touring with Sampa the Great. When they say dynamite comes in small packages, they were talking about Niasha because she is an entertainer of note!

 

Keep up with Niasha and all she’s up to:
