I’m trying out a new format today, with more good stuff and less of me rambling on.

If you missed this week’s issue of “Real Talk”…
I spoke with Gabriella Mussurakis is a freelance illustrator based in London, UK and originally from Crete, Greece.
In this issue of Real Talk, we discuss her recent work with Red Bull, growing up in Greece, the pros and cons of having a ‘style’, knowing your worth, eating plantains and more!
