Trust Yourself: Conversation with Oriana Lee
b"In this episode we get into conversation with the one and only Oriana Lee. \\n\\nI first engaged with Oriana in Santa Fe, NM while doing sound production for Wise Fool New Mexico several years back. I produced a track for one of Oriana\\u2019s live rap performances and ever since then we have continued to support each other's creativity in various ways within our community. For this conversation, Oriana breaks down her love for Hiphop, what it is like to be a life coach, we also decode identity politics a bit and Oriana reminds us that the most important thing you can do in this life is to \\u201ctrust yourself\\u201d.\\n\\nOriana Lee identifies as an interdisciplinary artist of African descent, currently living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Shaped heavily by Black American culture, Lee\\u2019s artistic lens is primarily rooted in Hiphop principles - peace, love, unity, and having fun. Artistic activism around human rights gently threads through Lee\\u2019s creations with traditional African culture often infused through patterns, symbols, and storytelling. Lee\\u2019s contemporary art practice includes music, literature, performance, visual arts, recycled/upcycled art, installation art, and circus arts.\\n\\nAt the end of our conversation we here a track that Oriana recorded with her son for her recent solo exhibition, the song is titled Success by Physique & Olee from the 1010 Freestyle EP (2021)\\n\\nFor more info, visit, www.orianalee.love /IG: @oriana1ee"
