Creatives Like Us Podcast - Season 1 #7


Episode 7

Hello Reader!

This episode was released on Thursday; since then, we have had the most incredible feedback. I spoke with Sylvia, a designer and illustrator. Sylvia shares her journey from graphic design to launching her own range of Afrocentric cards, created to reflect and celebrate Black and Brown children, particularly those who are often underrepresented, including children with vitiligo and albinism. She opens up about overcoming perfectionism, the importance of visibility, and the encouragement that helped her finally start her business after years of 'professional' procrastination - she said it and is working on that! I hope you enjoy...

Meeting...
