Most of the people I talk to in Radical Strategies can be categorized one of two ways. 1: My friends: people I consider to be insightful and inspirational; who are guaranteed to give a fantastic conversation. 2: People I wish I was friends with, who are also rather insightful and inspirational; and are guaranteed to give a fantastic conversation. Hollis falls into this second category, and although many people know her as a recording artist, it's her deep understanding of cultural + societal structures and movements that I wanted to tap into with this conversation. Have a listen.
