Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Messaging, with Jamila Walker and TaQuinda Johnson

We have been dying to get Jamila Walker on the show for a long time. Knowing that Jamila is putting on a workshop for the Darwin Festival was the perfect opportunity to get her in for a chat. We find out how Jamila started out in her career, what inspires her and what motivates her. We love getting inside the minds of creators and I have to say, how Jamila see's the world is kinda nice. Whether it be romanticising about the warmth of the ideal living room scene, noticing a new hat on that person you walk past everyday or seeing the beauty in everyday tasks. That's the inspiration I took from this interview. Jamila is holding a workshop at the Unitarian Church on Saturday 15th of Feb called 'Patterns in Nature' it says its great for 6-107 year olds!
