In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Danika Scott. Meet Danika Scott, a young artist whose passion and love for her art is evident through her diverse range of styles and quality of work. In fact, for those of us who are catching on to her work, what is most evident is her attention to detail and her innate sense of colour. This is probably best depicted in her works of realism, be it landscapes, cityscapes, portraits, or even what might be considered abstract images she sees in her mind (one might think contrary to realism), all have a true-to-life quality that reflects something familiar to us. Despite her obvious talent, it is probably this element that sets her apart. In this episode we discuss art, painting, finding your calling, silver linings, struggles, mental health and expression.

In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Daniela Lombardi.Born and raised both Toronto and Rome (duel citizen) as my dad always loved bringing us back home (his home) She grew up in Richmond Hill before I got married at the tender age of 21. Growing up on the heavier size did build “character”. As in my day we didn’t have the body positive movement. Nor the Ashely Graham’s. I was teased relentlessly in school. (Mind you still face body bullying till this day, just cope with it differently than a ten year old me would have). Clothing was so hard to find so I would venture off to Panarama (for those who know, know) and try to find the best fitted men’s jeans or tops and try to alter them to be more feminine. Where I have to actually be thankful for as I think that’s where I got my fashion sense. In this episode we discuss being a curve model, modelling, self-love, body positivity, motherhood, bullying, a-ha moments, personal struggle and inner beauty.
