We are joined this week by George Ajjan, aka "the ajjancy", an independent songwriter and mashup cover artist, whose love of music inspired him to reclaim his creativity after having established a completely unrelated career! We chat about how fatherhood shapes the way you write and feel, how to find the joy in creativity even while musically processing the heaviest of topics including loss and mortality, and so much more on this week's episode of PMS :) p.s. we will be having a 2 week mid-season break to catch our breaths, and will return with more creative content on 6/23!!

This week we sit down with the brilliant cinematographer Sade Ndya to deep dive into the art of visual storytelling! From giving us a hands-on demonstration for how to set up the perfect shot, to discussing what it truly means to be an artist, Sade shares her creative process, inspirations, and the power of personal branding.

While taking us through her experiences in the entertainment industry (working with big names like Keke Palmer, Lil Nas X, and Issa Rae just to name a few), Sade opens up about navigating systemic challenges, finding community, and using her voice and vision to shift the narrative.

Whether you're an aspiring filmmaker, a fellow creative, or simply curious about the magic behind the lens—this episode is for you! Tune in, get inspired, and see the world through Sade's lens!
