Laviea Thomas is a music and culture writer for publications such as CLASH and Gigwise, but is also the founder of House of Wax, a zine and online space set up to celebrate creatives of colour.  I have known of Laviea for many years through the music scene in London, however we surprisingly have never met in person.  This did not stop us from having a wonderful conversation about everything music and culture related, discussing the highs and lows of working within a white male dominated industry.

This episode was a delight to record as it felt like I was chatting and catching up with an old friend.  We discussed everything from her true highlights of creating her first ever print run,  how hard she has had to work to be writing for multiple publications, as well as studying a creative degree at University.
