In this episode of Art Life, we had the privilege of hosting Shammah Godoz—YouTube book reviewer for The Book Replay, product designer, and digital marketer. Our conversation spanned across a range of topics; from books on language, neuro & biochemistry, love, and loss, to broader discussions on self-sacrifice, community, brotherhood, feminism, and post-colonial theory.

We also explored an often-overlooked perspective: the struggles of Black women in society. Shammah shared insights into his creative process, the art of cross-pollinating ideas, and the power of small, consistent steps in achieving creative success.

Finally, we talked about his upcoming book, The Rainmakers, and his heartfelt advice to his 20-year-old self. This episode is packed with wisdom, inspiration, and thought-provoking discussions—you won’t want to miss it!You can find Godoz on Socials here:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5yOmDJVZCJmVA0LqEbeSDAShammah’s Journal: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/6930097399369457664/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shammahgodoz/Website: https://shammahgodoz.notion.site/Shammah-Godoz-291c5ccb42804b6e9e7398b4799695d8Medium: https://shammahgodoz.medium.com/The UI Spirit: https://theuispirit.medium.com/
