In this episode we chat with Laverne Wyatt, a graphic communications manager, author, social entrepreneur and African design enthusiast from Durban, South Africa. Laverne shares with us how growing up during apathied in South Africa opened her eyes to issues of inequality and exclusion from an early age—schools were segregated based on race and class. Infact, she only learned about design accidentally at the age of 16 when an employee of her mother noticed her talent for drawing. Today, she resides in Norway where she works as a senior branding expert. Laverne continues to find inspiration from her own South African heritage and helps people discover their potential while being their most authentic self. She does this through Bloom with Laverne Wyatt, a platform and podcast dedicated to sharing stories of how people choose to bloom abroad. //open.spotify.com/show/2m7xp35J7GOgTWeNH2GhGG?si=c8d3bf65f58d4b56Support the showInstagram: @myafricanaesthetic Website: https://www.myafricanaesthetic.com/
