Let's Talk About with Zadrian and Sarah

Our conversation with Naama Preis continues as we discuss the complexity of being your authentic self in the entertainment industry, along with the challenges and joy of collaborating with her husband and director Nadav Lapid and her hopes for the future!

For our latest podcast series, we had the pleasure to sit down with the incredibly talented Israeli actress Naama Preis who's gearing up for an exciting season at this year's Cannes Film Festival with her films 'Ahed’s Knee’ and ‘The Star’ both premiering at Cannes. We talked about motherhood - her experience raising her son during the current conflicts in Israel and reminiscing about her glorious fashion moment at last year's Venice Film Festival.

“Meeting you guys… I never thought it would be like this. I didn’t think stylists were like this. I think you guys are unique, in your positions of who you are and where you’re at in the industry. People talk about being unique in the industry and it’s difficult because the industry is so big. I think the collaboration and the union you guys have, what you guys are doing in the industry and the power you guys have in yourselves and each other… I feel blessed, I feel honoured to be in this union, I feel blessed to have you guys as stylists. I feel blessed to be in conversation with you and to be inspired by you.” - Bukky Bakray Video Editor: @WeAreFatPanda Copy Editor: @WriterintheNorth Special thanks to @AmberMuotto @AMPRLDN

"I always came with the energy, that I'm no one's role model. I do think that we live to inspire. I hope that's what I've done with @RocksFilm. The only reason why it doesn't feel weighted for me... I don't feel like I have this massive responsibility, to be like a premium proper person, is because if I continue to be me, people will be able to identify with someone who is just not premium and proper." - Bukky Bakray Video Editor: @WeAreFatPanda Copy Editor: @WriterintheNorth Special thanks to @AmberMuotto @AMPRLDN

"You never know what you want in life until you’ve had a taste of it. I would have never knew that I had this bountiful love for acting." - Bukky Bakray on her acting debut role in Rocks Film. Video Editor: WeAreFatPanda Special thanks to Amber Muotto AMPRLDN

Our conversation with Kosar Ali continues as we discuss some of the current issues in the education system, the lack of representation in the fashion industry for Muslims and the powerful girlhood culture seen in the film 'Rocks'.

For our latest episode of Let's Talk About podcast, we had the great pleasure of speaking with our client Actress Kosar Ali whose performance in 'Rocks' has rightly earned her a BIFA win and a BAFTA nomination. The young rising star has become an expander to many young Muslim woman, who for so long have had to experience the significant impact with the lack of positive representation and inclusion in the media. We hope you'll enjoy the conversation - stay tuned for part 2!

For the latest episode of the podcast, Zadrian Smith and Sarah Edmiston sat down to discuss passionate subjects and issues that are both inspire and inform, reflecting back on their journey into the fashion and creative industry - from Zadrian's experience at Alvin Ailey and British Vogue to Sarah's time at Halston and FIT NYC. We hope you enjoy the conversation!

For our third episode of Let's Talk About, we speak to Khaleb Brooks, a multi- disciplinary artist and researcher exploring Blackness, gender and the differences between memory and history. Our conversation explores Khaleb's journey as a Black artist from Chicago creating a career throughout London and Europe and his journey with gender and sexuality since coming out at 11 years old. We hope you'll enjoy our chat with him! - Zadrian + Sarah

It's a great pleasure and honour to have our dearest friend Misan Harriman, for the launch episode of 'Let's Talk About' podcast! Misan is the person who introduced us (Zadrian + Sarah) to each other and he has since played such an imperative role to our partnership - it's only fitting that he's our first guest for the podcast! We sat down with the incredibly talented photographer, creative director and cultural commentator that captured the nation's hearts and global attention with his documentary series on the Black Lives Matter protest. Misan is the first black person in the 104 year history of British Vogue to shoot the cover of its September issue! Website: www.zadrianandsarah.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/zadrianandsarah
