The Caffeinated Brown Girl PodcastCross stitching with Social Justice (ft Nehaxstitch)In today's episode, I chat with Neha Sharma, the face behind nehaxstitch. Neha's goal is to channel her inner monologue through embroidery while not taking herself too seriously. This episode was really insightful into her art process, but also that not everyone needs to have a side hustle or make their creativity/art monetary.
