Welcome to the Ink and Paint Girls podcast- a look at animation through the women who make it!
Hosted by Cassie Soliday
Today’s guest is producer, director, writer, and artist, Thandiwe Mlauli!
Thandiwe founded Studio Yezi to focus on developing animated stories for African audiences and is passionate about equalising the playing field for black creatives on the continent & in the world. Her first development is a short film called "Sola"!
In this episode, we discuss her thoughts on not seeking permission, leadership as a role of service to others, animation as play, the importance of having a support system, why it's important for us to show up for ourselves and be willing to transform, and so much more.
Here’s how you can help make Sola happen!
- Donate to their fundraising campaign on Jumpstarter
- Follow @StudioYezi and share their Sola graphic and tag your post with #makesolahappen
If you’re unable to make a donation, sharing the word with your friends is free and still helps!
