coming home to self

We’re back and we’re better than ever. This issue, we got DEEP and personal, and I got alllll up in the camera with my new dew. About time, if you asked me. I wanted to throw it BACK to the magazines I used to read through growing up. Where you could smell the pages perfume scent, and even use a sample if they had it. I’ve never been one to want to be a cover girl, but at this point, why not? This had the be the most fun I’ve had making these ZEIGNS. July and August, I hadn’t been inspired whatsoever, and I was really hard on myself about it because I had been really consistent! But, I guess this is all a part of the creative journey, I have to remind myself that I am not producing content, but I am producing art. And art takes TIME. And what do you know, two weeks ago I had this idea and my head, and it’s come into fruition. Always on time. ANYWHO, This month, I had the pleasure of sitting down and speaking with N’Deyah, (AKA me) for a candid conversation and introspective look into N’Deyah’s creative journey, how she gets her inspiration, and the influences in her life. N’Deyah’s decision to conduct a self-interview for this month’s ZEIGN, inspired by Donald Glover, adds an intriguing and unique touch to the conversation. She goes on to discuss the changing landscape for creatives, the importance of embracing one's multifaceted nature, and how she feels her current season is bringing her back home to whom she’s always been. Plus more of her faves across travel, food, art, and design.
