<p>I am used to being the one asking the questions so it made a welcome change to sit behind the mic as a guest, thanks to an invitation from Eunice &amp; Penina, the lovely hosts of the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.myafricanaesthetic.com" target="_blank">My African Aesthetic Podcast</a>. We chat about, amongst other topics, the importance of preserving Africa&#8217;s stories, by capturing the abundance of content that is being created in the form of written and spoken word, images and video.</p>

<p>Textile designer Eva Sonaike started a new Instagram Live series in lockdown called Conversations on African Design. Eva kindly invited me as a guest for episode 4 entitled ‘Dedicated to a cause!’ and we got to chat about our dedication to African Design, recent developments in the African Design industry, what we have learned from the lockdown and I revealed my favourite design travel destinations.</p>



<span id="more-620"></span>



<p>Eva is the Creative Director of luxury interiors brand <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.evasonaike.com" target="_blank">Eva Sonaike</a>, and for over a decade has been bringing colourful textiles inspired by her West African heritage into homes and interior spaces around the world.</p>
