Michele Kishita is a Philadelphia-based artist who uses colors found in nature that are not typically associated with “natural” colors and focuses on landscape as her primary subject. Her paintings are strongly influenced by the graphic stylizations and compressed spaces of Japanese ukiyo-e. Kishita’s paintings are in a number of private/corporate collections, including Toyota, Capital One, and Kaiser Permanente, and her work is featured in Create Magazine, on the Poetry Foundation blog, and Studio Break podcast, as well as in several literary journals. She exhibited at the Sharjah Art Museum in the United Arab Emirates and the Museum of Non-Conformist Art in St. Petersburg, Russia. Kishita received both her BFA and MFA in painting from the University of the Arts.

Gigi Bisong is a speaker, author, publisher, and life coach. ​ her passion is helping you connect to your truth center. She does this by helping you learn to be ok with your most insecure parts, knowing those parts are far from your entire truth. She holds space for you so you can shine and your divine self can come through fully. Gigi develops meaningful, innovative programs to align others to their unique genius so they can bring their gifts into this world and truly embody their calling.Don't miss out on the FREE wisdom and guidance of black women to learn more about deeply caring for our emotions, collectively healing, and HONORING our Blackness in a world that still has injustice and racism. Her summit brings together the wisdom of over 20 educators. In the meantime I think you will get so much out of hearing how Gigi came to understand her truth and felt the power of others stories moving through her. She is such a powerful speaker and connector of other people and I also love what she has to say about couples therapy. Does it work and why or why not?

So thrilled to be sharing the chat I had with EarthSpeak founders today. Natalie Ross she is the founder, podcast host and awareness activator and Shawna Cason, Co-founder, brand alchemist and medicine woman. This the first ever podcast interview the 2 of them have ever done together and the first podcast I’ve ever hosted with 2 guests at once. Was so fun to hear their stories and discuss building a supportive collective without hierarchy. They discuss the ease of working together and how trusting people to thrive in their zone of genius allows for smoother collaborations. I also loved our chat about podcasting and how our passions and business take on their own energy and how to tuning into what your projects want can have unexpected positive outcomes. This is a quick dive into how everything is alive and everything is about relationships.
