On this very special International Women’s Day episode, I have a soul rich conversation with Yagazie about womanhood. Exploring unconscious biases, through a perspective that is often not seen. Whilst it’s considerably easier to see biases against women perpetrated by men, what is often not as apparent are the biases we as women hold against ourselves which hold us back from being, doing and having all that we have been created to. Yagazie Eguare, a renowned professional photographer, creative entrepreneur, a leader and educator is changing the narrative of photography in Africa through her premium photography brand - GazMadu Studios. Yagazie, in this episode, brings truly unique insights and helps shatter stereotypical thinking about what it means to embrace your journey as a woman and live on your own terms even through changing seasons. This episode is for every girl/woman who is becoming and desires clarity and courage to set herself free from limitations, including those she’s unconsciously set herself. Key Highlights“Being female is not a limitation” (9:46)Growing up with a bias in a pro-gender blended family (11:15)Consciously living fully: Dance, Politics and Academics (16:03)Permitting yourself to shut the curtains to a life that no longer serves you (19:38) The importance of knowing your identity through rigorous inner work (35:13)“Photography and my education are the tools I’m equipped with to reach the many people I am called to” (41:52)“The ultimate purpose in life is people.We are all called to people”.
