America’s Hidden Gem the Podcast

Welcome to Season Two of AHG the Podcast! We’re kicking off the season with a special guest, Feyi Quadri, who talks with us about her journey, passion projects and more.

2020 has been CHALLENGING. COVID-19 coupled with Police Brutality...it’s been a lot. Listen in as we have a raw conversation as to how the world is affecting us and architecture.

This is part two of our conversation on financial literacy where we discuss that we, in fact, are an investment. We hope you enjoy!

The COVID-19 pandemic has created an uproar in our lives starting with our health and down to our pockets. Listen in as we speak with Josh Johnson, a financial advisor from Northwestern Mutual, to discuss how we should deal with our finances. Contact Josh at 305-549-8151 or [email protected].

It’s one thing navigate through architecture alone, but it’s another when you’re faced with adversities from within the Culture. Tune in as we discuss our stories as to how we’ve maneuvered through the profession and how working within our community has affected us. | Resource: http://info.aia.org/salary/salary.aspx

A lot of us may feel ostracized from the jump being Black or brown in America. Entering into architecture publicizes it or makes it even more noticeable - from being the only one in the studio or firm to even doing your pin-ups and final critiques. Having to navigate an environment that wasn’t originally made for you or receptive of you takes a toll mentally, emotionally, and physically. Listen as we discuss how we’ve navigated through this. Also, S/O to JT for the beat - follow him on IG @jaytee937!
