EP20 Conversation with Changemaker Tara Olayeye

We’re back with another guest interview and this time we had the privilege of interviewing Filmmaker, Video Editor and overall fashion icon, Tara Olayeye. We flew over to the states sponsored by Zoom (we wish x) and had a transparent and refreshing conversation with Tara about her journey thus far, her artistry, black trauma in film and ‘dream projects’. We advise you to grab a drink and a notepad cause Tara dropped some gems! You can find Tara on: (IG) @taraolaa & (Youtube) taraola. Don't forget to rate and review!!

Later in the ep, we hear from Sir Jvmes who shares a beautiful reading of her spoken word piece, ‘Until Next Time’. If you’re a black/brown emerging writer who has a short story to tell get in touch with us. Apologies for the fluctuating sound - We’re working on it!
