Episode six features musician and Womanly Mag founder, Attia Taylor. Attia is a Brooklyn-based writer, musician, and content producer. She is the founder of Womanly, The Dorothy and a member of The Art Dept Collective. Her work is rooted in social justice, art, and design, to bring inclusive and culturally relevant content to sound, print and digital realms. She is passionate about building and cultivating communities through journalism, music, storytelling, and research. We touch on the intense nature of New York City and adapting to it, and how family practices and beliefs passed down from generation informs what you eventually believe. How sometimes you go interview at a place where everyone is a clone of you and apparently everyone who grew up in Philadelphia had their first job at Rita’s?? The fallacy of midlife breakdowns mainly happening in your thirties but truly being burnt out in your twenties which leads to reassessing what time and abilities were worth and making mental health a priority. The best way to set up getting out of your boring nine to five, to do the things you enjoy in life which I believe you should break out that notepad app and take some fuckin notes babes. It’s a genius set up.
