We started the call talking about her dedication to art from a young age and the importance of pursuing your passion, no matter the obstacles. Her journey was challenging. Navigating a male-dominated scene, she faced sexism head-on. But her story is also about overcoming challenges. The struggles she encountered in the graffiti world became lessons in resilience and resourcefulness.

Beyond the artistic side, Lady Pink also emphasized the importance of business acumen for creative success. Balancing passion with financial sustainability is a crucial skill for any aspiring artist.

We discussed hers dedication to inspiring younger artists through her art and special mural projects within various communities. It is a story that celebrates diversity, inclusion, and the importance of mentorship.
