Amanda Niqole: Transformation, Advocacy, and Arts &...

The Render Room ·

2024/12/01

In today's episode of The Render Room I am joined by an old college friend, Amanda Niqole.

From editing and sound design, to DJing, to producing a play Off-Broadway, how does she jump from idea to idea? Turns out, maybe she doesn't even know? Perhaps, like I learned from my Dad, she's just saying yes to what feels good and right at the moment. Something we should all ponder. Follow
