Black History Month is a great time to delve into the rich history of the African diaspora. The Kofar Mata Dye Pits have had prominence across the world spanning 5 centuries and are still active, however this ancient craft is in jeopardy in these modern times. 

Nana’s earth tones and stylish cyclical pieces immediately called out to us as we were skimming through Instagram and stumbled across her beautiful page. We find a little bit more about her and her family , her inspirations and the process of making her clothing.

We take a look at the unique perspective from a First Nation Family who are raising their son to be a proud Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. We delve into the importance of why being proud of our heritage is powerful, the importance of inclusion in everyday life and useful practices for our environment, we can borrow from the oldest surviving nation in the world.

Whether it is an interesting coffee shop hidden away on a side street or showcasing a talented local artist, Nathalie is sure to show us the plethora of gems African countries possess. We sit down with her to speak about her visiting different countries in such a culturally rich continent, why she believes we should all travel to Africa and she shares her favourite spots and top tips!

Irati is a wife, a mother of two beautiful boys, Inhar and Udai and an award nominated photographer. We talk to her about having the bravery to start documenting her life through photography and the confidence to change direction, turning her hobby into a successful career.

Tokyo is a sprawling city of diverse neighbourhoods, where traditional culture lies side by side with visions from the future!  Sometimes the pollution, noise and continuing motion of city life can be overwhelming so Miho and Totto will take us away from the hussle and bussle of city life and show us their favourite spots.

We are lucky enough to sit down with Mother, Model and Creator, Miracle Sharri to discuss young motherhood, interracial relationships, balancing life working as a creative and following her dreams.
