009. Chapter 3: The Power of Peace with Farah, a Doctor with an Intersectional Creative Perspective

Sol Talk: From Corporate to Creative

In the second installment of The Power of Peace we meet Farah, a Black Muslim woman. Farah is a doctor who is leaning into her creative passions as she starts defining her life’s purpose. She is the co-host of Rooted Black Girls, a visual podcast that pulls in Farah’s intersectional perspective, and founder of Zia East, an apparel line inspired by the African Diaspora.

Farah dispels the notion that we have to choose one niche, while talking us through the internal chatter within most creative’s minds. She also opens up about how she maintains peace and why she believes in the power of community.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• The journey of Farah understanding more of who she is as she strengthened her relationship with her Islamic faith
• The mission statement that keeps Farah focused
• Why it’s important for an artist to release their work into the world
• Farah’s perspective of peace and its connection to fear
• Why power in the hands of Black community is often feared
