Episode Five: King Moe Graces Us with Her Presence
Unconventional/ Eccentric/ Visionary
Monique Floyd aka "King Moe" is on a mission to inspire women to " Be Themselves, See Themselves, and Free Themselves!" As a Transformational Photographer, Mentor, and Course Creator, everything she does points back to self-love, self- prioritization, confidence, visibility, ownership, and personal liberation.
"I feel like I woke up to my life at 35 year old (8 years ago) and I pretty much started over with intention vs just societal conditioning. I left a career in the nuclear engineering industry, a marriage, a lifestyle, and most things that I found familiar so that I could find myself." She rediscovered her childhood passion for photography, and hasn't looked back since.
King Moe has spent the past 8 years empowering women to show up for themselves and their businesses through her unique transformational photoshoot experiences and her bestselling online course Love Your Self(ie)™. To learn more visit www.imkingmoe.com.
If you want to book a session with Moe or find out more you may find her on Facebook, Instagram, and Clubhouse: @imkingmoe
Episode Four: Arrrt Addict's Spiritual Journey
Welcome to the Curio Curandera Podcast! This month I will be interviewing the designer and muralist known as ARRRTADDICT who is based out of Atlanta.
"Hello! Since I was a kid the only thing I ever wanted to do is be a fashion designer. I have been blessed to be living my dreams for the last 15 years. I love branding and bringing peoples’ visions to life. Early on I realized that a T-shirt is just a canvas and it has helped me excel into the artist that I am today. My artwork under my alias ARRRTADDICT has led me to do concert posters for Red Bull, two collaborations with Nike, beer labels for several breweries, flyers for events and murals all over the city of Atlanta. There are no limits when it comes to my art. I hope that you can be a part of my journey.
Let’s grow together,
ARRRTADDICT"

Episode Three: Fun with Brianna Daniels
Welcome to the Curio Curandera Podcast! I’m your host Gianna. As you already know, every month I interview a different person on what their spiritual journey looked like, what their spiritual practices are, both traditional and nontraditional, and what their spiritual playlist is. This month I will be interviewing the awesome Brianna Daniels. Brianna is the owner of Cosmosis Stones, an awesome handcrafted jewelry business, a yogi and reiki practitioner. Brianna, I know I gave a brief description of you, but please tell me more about who you are and your business! Also keep an ear out for a special code during this episode.
Briannas Spiritual Playlist can be found here.
"This playlist is a short rest stop of the some of the good spells that have been jazz maps, mantras for the mind, and hip hop meditations on my spiritual journey.
These are my tunes of transitions. Music to move in and out of scenarios that served and did not serve me, sonic articulations of sankofa, my reminders to let that go and here we go.
Each bop has influenced my mind, body, and spirit.
You're invited to do as I have done so many times. Look up the lyrics to all the love songs here sing them to yourself in times when you struggled with this kind of love.
The art of each artist listed here has in some way bolstered my self realization and the various identities I embodied, embody, and will embody as I travel through time and space my spiritual journey.
I hope these inspire you to sing, dance, breathe, listen, bob, smile, and use your time to rhythmically reveal you to you." - Brianna Daniels
