A note from the Host
If you’re reading this message, I want to start by thanking you for taking the time to share this space with me. I am Divine and I host and produce the Design Unmuted podcast. I am a storyteller, landscape designer, artist, and educator. I started the podcast to share stories that inspire us all to expand our minds and hearts.
As an advocate for social justice, I engage in conversations on the ways design and art can help us build more just and beautiful communities. I don’t shy away from difficult conversations, because there’s always (bad) jokes and laughter around the corner to lift our spirits as we need it.
If you’re about building community, justice and good vibes, join the Design unmuted community and the other folks who chose to move beyond convention and learn critical perspectives of design, art and all things creative.
I am so grateful for you for choosing Design unmuted. If you want me to talk your ear off, drop me a word :).
