Noemie Marguerite: The Art Of Life Again

In this episode, I speak with Noemie Marguerite a Congolese photographer and filmmaker based in Brooklyn, NY. Her work focuses on capturing the “grey area” of life whether it’s capturing a different approach to event photography, revealing a new perspective of an individual through portraiture, or speaking on the vulnerabilities of life through motion work. She discusses her background as a Congolese woman raised in the US and the complexities of balancing two cultures. We discuss the need to capture and highlight underrepresented stories, particularly of the African diaspora. She shares her experience of finding validation and inspiration in her marriage, positively impacting her artistic career. Noemie also opens up about her journey through depression and how facing her fears helped her regain her sense of purpose and passion for art. She emphasizes the significance of making choices aligned with one's purpose and the power of love in removing shame and judgment.You can connect with Noemie at https://www.instagram.com/noemiemarguerite?igsh=cTNqcmR3NDg5Znph Why do you listen to this podcast https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqYe7Kp9yTItZY5--I0NP05GAgqDyo-hCyGUrNO13Xj8yp4g/viewform
