In this week’s show, I have a re-run of a convo that was originally aired on Tuesday Lunch.
This conversation is incredible important to me, and one that I knew would be included in this series, when the dates were locked in.
This is a heartfelt conversation with Shakaiah Perez (Lady Shaka). Together, we trace her journey from a vibrant childhood to becoming the acclaimed DJ and artist she is today.
As we talk, I find myself inspired by the creative forces that shaped her (from hip hop to Bollywood) and the way dance competitions, moving abroad, and navigating adversity all built her resilience. It’s a reminder of how powerful it can be when we back ourselves and honour where we come from.
This episode feels like a celebration of culture, identity, and artistic courage. I hope you feel the warmth that I did: an honest, uplifting reminder that representation matters, community carries us, and our stories deserve to be heard.
