S3 E1 • Leisure, Luxury, and Legacy w/ Jasmine Marie & Amanda S. Wicks

This week on The Drum Podcast with NOVATEUR AGENCY and The Marcus Graham Project, we caught up with creatives Jasmine Marie and Amanda S. Wicks from the R20 cohort to discuss their inspirations, navigating the industry as black women, staying inspired, and redefining luxury.

Jasmine Marie • @MarieStJames is a creative producer who’s done everything from fashion styling, concept-building, brand management, and now Creative Direction at large. Her career began in hospitality, where she learned that you can sell almost anything if you make it an experience. That idea continues to shape her work as the founder of experience agency Maison St. James and Creative Producer of CRWNMAG where she tells the stories of amazing black women.

Amanda S. Wicks • @StacysInterlude is a social media specialist, storyteller, visual artist, and everything in between. In addition to her professional work, she is a Ph.D. student at Vanderbilt University, where her research focuses on representations of Black women in popular culture.
