Continuing our series unveiling the experiences and memories of the generation before ours, how they lived, loved and explored, our guest is none other than The Original Original, the legend in her own lifetime, Chief Nike Davies-Okundaye.
An absolute one-off in the art and craft space and an all-round wonderful personality, Mama Nike shares incredible awe-inspiring stories spanning six decades.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The 14-year-old runaway bride.
- Serendipity vs making your own luck.
- Mbari Mbayo and those halcyon days.
- Female solidarity, empowerment and financial independence.
- The deep, rich, unwritten language of Adire symbols.
- That bucket list thing.
- and, believe it, yams and fecundity have a thing going (cryptic, yes, but listen and all will be revealed).
This is one heck of a life journey. Absolutely riveting!
