Quotes
There is a lot of pressure (in society) to be more than what you are and, in the process, we are not having conversations that matter
My grandmother was able to raise 11 kids, providing for them while also holding down different jobs (as a domestic worker and in a shop)
I think subconsciously seeing my grandmother work so tirelessly and being a happy woman influenced me to think that I can do a bunch of things and demand more out of life for myself
The conversations are set under the covering theme of Love, Loss and Life, because these are broad topics. Guests get to share their experiences with loss, life and what they have learnt
I hope each question I ask my guests, viewers can ask themselves so they can stop and think and consider their own journeys
I talk to the person (guest) behind the art. Not about what you do, but who you are. And I think some of these women have been longing for a space where people can be interested in who they are outside of the drama of fame
