You own yourself. You're hungry? Eat. You're thirsty? Drink. 

You need something? Go get it. Ask for what you need. ”

-Daje James, The Everything Belongs Podcast


 

Today on the Everything Belongs Podcast, Madison is in conversation with Daje James. Profound beauty is found in the tension and Daje makes it her goal to seek it out and expose it. As a brand strategist, author, artist, and story doula, her work is to make space for artists to breathe in their process. She feels guided by the universe and the spirits of her ancestors to stand in this work, challenge systems, and build around the fires of the collective creative process. She feels guided to write about it, ponder it, and call souls back to stand around this fire together and be heard. In this episode, Madison and Daje speak on reclaiming our creative power within capitalist systems, accepting our predator archetype and branding as a representation of care and quality.
