I have another amazing episode for you! If you didn't get an opportunity to listen to the inspiration words of Nour Brahimi, my second guest, click here right after you listen to this episode.
In this episode, I am speaking with Lola Akinmade. Lola was born in Nigeria, educated in the United States and is based in Sweden. She was named one of eight 2022 Hasselblad Heroines and the 2018 Travel Photographer of the Year Bill Muster Award recipient. The great Lola started her career behind the camera covering a popular reality TV series. Now she's a master storyteller – someone who can leave a room absolutely stunned in silence just from the words that come out of her mouth.
She's a powerful speaker, a talented writer, a social entrepreneur, a painter – and so much more.
She also has a lot to say about how we're representing women in the world, how we should make travel better for all of us, and how the stories we tell ourselves and the grace we give ourselves plays an enormous role in making that all work.
