In this episode, I interview mother and daughter duo, Claire and Amaranthia Sepia. Claire and Amaranthia are the founders of Sista Creatives Rising, an organization devoted to promoting accessibility and visibility of marginalized women and marginalized genders in the arts. We discuss the unique challenges they faced as black women with disabilities in getting their initiative up and running. They also share how art can be used as a form of self-advocacy and expression of the challenges marginalized groups face. Finally, Claire and Amaranthia share their advice for Gen-Zers on how they can make a difference by pursuing their passions.
