Description: We discuss womanhood and matriarchy- topics explored in Wanja's first album, Matriarch. We talk about the ins and outs of playing internationally and the joy behind playing to an intimate and present crowd. We talk about how Wanja stays rooted in love and in truth in what could sometimes be deemed an ingenious industry. She shares the word 'Homecoming' as an adjective to describe this album. It was written at a time where she was yearning for a sense of home and asking questions such as "what's my lineage?", "what's my ancestry?", "who are the women who made me who I am both literally and more esoterically". We discuss ways she supports other women in the industry while moving in kindness and fearlessness. We also touch on misconceptions people have about her as well as how she feels after having released the new EP, 'Honey'.We talk about self care in the times of the internet and find out what she is listening to and is inspired by, currently. We talk about her music relationship with her now fiancé and how music has always been around for her. How it takes a village to create a beautiful, blooming, continuously productive artist- yet how it all comes down to just you. We hear her advice for young girls learning to love their bodies and trust in their journeys and end with ways you can support her as an artist in a world of online streaming.
