Ep 05 | Monetizing Art: Maintaining Your Voice in Brand Partnerships w/ Jamilla Okubo

Welcome to a new episode of Mahogany & Friends! Today is a really special episode  because we are going to talk about finding your passion and the value of monetizing your work as a creative!  SO with that said, let’s talk. Our next guest is a mixed-media artist who I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing her work as a mentee at Parsons School of Design. Her work has consistent themes that explore the intricacy of belonging to an American, Kenyan, and Trinidadian identity. She aims to use her interdisciplinary concentration as a medium to address topics within her culture. Rotating between collage, painting, fashion design, and screen printing her work is heavily inspired by the art of storytelling.
