Ugo Mozie Jan 15, 2020

Show notes

Today on the podcast, Vanessa brings in her first guest, Ugo Mozie; (bio) to help her discuss the African Influence on Global Culture. Frustrated with African Culture being “trendy” but not properly understood or represented, Ugo and Vanessa share their perspectives while talking about their own life experiences. They also give us a peak behind the scenes to the underbelly of the world of fashion and music. What is missing in the representation? More strategies and a call for how the people of Africa can represent themselves properly and change how they are viewed. The end of empty African appropriation is a positive movement and the time is now.

In this premier episode, Vanessa explains her ideas and experiences while embracing the internal magic of being a woman in the modern world. Topics which might bring hesitation from some, but now is a time for understanding.

She started the UDada Foundation to help lift and empower the girls and women of Africa. Let's change the narrative, challenge malevolent government practices, and take back what’s ours.
