This week Fredia and Jena sit down with, Adrian Octavius Walker, world renowned photographer and mixed media artist. St. Louis born and bred, Adrian walks us through the days following the death of Mike Brown and how that day lead to the self-publishing of his book "My Lens, Our Ferguson." A documentation of the Ferguson protests, My Lens, Our Ferguson later went on to be shortlisted for the Paris Photo-Aperture First PhotoBook award. As a new husband and father Adrian shares his perspective on committed relationships, working against the white male gaze, and how he inspires and uplift the communities he's apart of. Join this intimate conversation on how black women have changed Walker's life, and inspired the founding of "Black Women over Breathing," a cultural movement of it's own.
The It’s A Look podcast presents fresh and knowledgeable views on the people and places you may know but not know much about. Join Fredia and Jena for a monthly dose of comedy and curiosity through a curated collection of candid interviews, sonic experiences, and live podcasting shows.
Fredia’s expertise within the show is laughter and making heavier topics more digestible. Jena drops the insightful gems, the questions that expand your perspective. Before you hear anything else, you hear their friendship. As a duo, F+J are tastemakers who have their freshly manicured nails set on the pulse of humanity and what holds us together.
At its core, It’s A Look is historic. It’s what Jena’s mom and Fredia’s grandmother didn’t do. It’s bigger than both of them. It’s what they saw that you didn’t-- A Look.
It’s A Look is produced by three bad ass brown women- Fredia, Jena, and Sami Hiromi. Music by Jarin Tindall. Videography by Aquavis Warfield. It’s A Look branding and website design by Amy Jasinki.
