In this episode of Ladies Who Bronché, Julissa and Bue engage the intersections of art, community, and personal experiences. They explore the concept of being a 'peaceful warrior' and how art serves as an outlet for rage, especially in times of social unrest. The discussion shifts to the importance of community in nurturing creativity and the complexities of recognition in creative spaces. They also dive into the duality of wealth and goodness, and the impact of privilege on individual experiences.
