83.How to build a creative career after leaving university!
In this episode, we look at how to build your creative career when you leave university. We look at ways how to get into art galleries and how to make a name for yourself in the art/creative world.
Information about myself and GXONA
Firstly, my name is Geona, I studied fashion design at University Of The Creative Arts and graduated in 2020 during the pandemic. My brand created by GXONA is my name with a play on the spelling, instead of putting the E it's replaced with an X for two main reasons, first being without the 'E' you'll still be able to pronounce the name (G-ONA) and the second reason meaning is to X out any social constructions, any social boxes and be welcoming to all. I personally try to use my art to shine a light to current situations within society, be a voice for those who feel unheard or overlooked, and also give hope and comfort to my audience.
Eventually, I want to incorporate my art into the fashion side of my creativity in a unique, new way, but as of now, I'm focusing on building my name as a black artist. Finally, like the name(created by GXONA), everything is created by me, from starting point to the final product.

Porsché's Bio:
My name is Porsché Mysticque. I'm the CEO of MysticqueRose Publishing Services. I'm originally from Pittsburgh, PA but I live in Nigeria with my husband of almost 3 years. Growing up in a household where progress is intentionally stifled, I spent my early adulthood, doing nothing and going nowhere. But when I met my husband online and we dated secretly for 5 years, I decided to take a leap of faith. I packed my bags, left in the middle of the night, and planned my trip to Nigeria. I am now happy and living my life to the fullest by creating, developing, and publishing books for indie authors while working on my own. I dedicate my free time to speaking to audiences about generational wealth, legacy, and freedom.

72. Finding success as an Afrobeat Artist with Teedeevee
Today we are looking into the work you have to do to be a successful artist.
Teedeevee shows if you put your mind to it. you can do anything!
Teedeevee is an Afro-pop, Afrobeat Artist based in Lagos Nigeria. He is a Top International Afro-Beat musician, lyricist, composer, performer, and award winner of the Best upcoming artist in Africa in 2017. Teedeevee describes Afropop as African Music combined with popular hip hop music but with a heavier beat. One of Teedeevee’s recent songs KORE (the mantra of Hope) is about giving people hope during this time of Covid. The continent, like all others, has been hit hard by the virus and people's lives and livelihoods have been affected and income taken away, so a song to keep people’s hope alive is what he created. In his album Adventure, Teedeevee’s music transcends into messages of love and life. Coming from Nigeria, Teedeevee struggled to balance both getting his law degree and his love for creating music that tells a story. In 2021, he successfully got admitted to the bar, and in the same year, released his album. Teedeevee is a dynamic and versatile artist, which has led him to have a majority of global influences and collaborations reflected in his work. His international break occurred in 2019 when he produced a song with a Lebanese producer. Soon afterward, he started getting recognition from International artists from different parts of the world including Sudan, Germany, and France.
Teedeevee’s influences come from his life experiences, most of which are reflection of the obstacles and challenges he and other people from the African continent go through before becoming successful. Teedeevee’s success has come from being "stubborn" and resilient in believing that he will achieve everything he has set his mind to, in spite of the challenges he faces along the way. Through his music, he is able to encourage other people to follow their hearts’ desires.
Teedeevee is also an Attorney at Law. He graduated from the prestigious Faculty of Law at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria and he’s admitted into the Largest Bar in Africa as a Barrister.

59.How to speak your mind online (with no regrets) with Greg Lacy
In this episode, we are speaking with Greg Lacy from the 'Speak my p.eace podcast'. Greg Lacy, host of the Speak My Peace Podcast, was raised in Compton, California. Up until his graduating high school he dedicated the majority of his life to playing basketball in hopes of one day realizing his dream of playing in college. However, while in high-school he soon learned those plans weren't going to pan out due to lack of preparation. So, he shifted his focus to enlisting in the military serving a term in the US Air Force. After serving in the Air Force, Greg then revisited the idea of returning to school where he eventually earned a Bachelor's degree in Communications from St. John’s University - New York. It was at St. John’s where the idea to start a podcast was formulated, realizing he had various topics he wanted to share his thoughts on but had no outlet to do so. Upon graduating from St. John's Greg returned home to Los Angeles where he began working as an Integrated Media Planner. During this time he has continued to grow his podcast speaking on a broad range of topics mostly centered around the idea of the experiences of Black people.
