It's A Look w/ Fredia & Jena Dominique

Volume 5: A Look into building and sustaining grassroots organizations: How to design intersectional festival experiences

Episode Summary

Fredia and Jena sit down this week with Max Murphy Gibson the Co-Founder and Creative Genius behind Wine and Bowties - a digital platform for the celebration of art and culture and a full fledged event production. In this episode F+J talk with Max on what it means to be a carefree black man in America, truths about Oakland and what's holding it back, and what it feels like to have five years of experience in the event production game - specifically with the return of their celebrated art and music exhibition FEELS arriving in its sixth formation. Laugh with us as Max shares his tips and ticks on: leveling up your business, how to manifest a dream, how he enjoys practicing self care, and how cis gendered men can uplight and amplify the voices of women and non-binary folks.

Episode Notes

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.
