Chat With Nat

In this episode, Nat is joined by Mima – host of #MimasMusicMondays and friend of the show, for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation.From the question everyone is asking where is Luke Tawanda Philemon Humba? to the ever-heated debate on working from home (and Emma Grede’s claim that it’s “career suicide”), & how events like Covid have changed how some pple engage with the workplace. They also unpack the idea of the “free lunch” (does it exist, really?), reflect on the Mohopolo / ancestral memory weekend at the Barbican, and Mima shares some other exciting events to look forward to.Press Play:Connect with Mima: https://linktr.ee/mimamoo——Chat With Nat is a podcast that amplifies diasporic voices, memory, migration, and identity - with laughter and reflection.  Hosted by Natasha, a Zimbabwean living in London, the show explores the dual, nuanced experiences of migrants navigating life between worlds. Whether it’s light-hearted chats or deeper conversations, Chat With Nat is your space to feel seen, understood, and a little less alone.

Part Two of my conversation with Judith (host of the Awakened & Anchored podcast).In this episode, the conversation turns deeply personal.Judith and I reflect on the different seasons of womanhood and motherhood, and what it means to navigate life when things feel like they are slipping through your fingers. We talk honestly about the pressures of responsibility, the quiet moments of doubt, and the unexpected ways that motherhood reshapes who we are.We also explore the idea of recognising the season you’re in, rather than constantly trying to push through it. Sometimes growth looks like building. Other times it looks like resting, surrendering, or allowing life to refine you in ways you didn’t anticipate.Whether you’re a mother, navigating a demanding season of life, or simply trying to understand where you are in your own journey, this episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and honour the season you’re in.———-Judith is the founder of Awakened and Anchored.

Part 2 of my conversation with Amanda J. Sibanda.Although this episode was recorded first, it follows her recent appearance on the podcast, so think of this as the origin story.In this conversation, we explore Amanda’s creative evolution and her deep fascination with the intersection of storytelling and visuals. She reflects on how music videos, particularly the bold cinematic style of Hype Williams, shaped her early creative instincts and influenced the way she thinks about narrative and image.We trace her beginnings, where she studied journalism and worked at Rhodes University as a music librarian, producer and show host, developing an ear for rhythm and story long before stepping onto film sets. From there, we discuss her move to the UK, her time at London Film School, and the realities of building a career in film across borders.We also talk about the high of working on The Batman and what it really means to operate “on the day” in a film environment.Amanda also shares insight into the three short films she wrote and directed last year. You will want to follow her to stay updated on their release.--------------------------------Stay in touch with Amanda: https://www.instagram.com/amandajsibanda/?hl=enThe Scriptwriter tracker: https://amandajsibanda.gumroad.com/l/thescriptwritingtracker?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnXyzjirCMewq43SNGQfQzrMB7EG1fpObgTqVu8Lniv3dntxO7Qf7AJsv5L7c_aem_P9-Upmn8AP_StcR4MbY1BQ----------Chat With Nat is a podcast that amplifies diasporic voices, memory, migration, and identity - with laughter and reflection.  Hosted by Natasha, a Zimbabwean living in London, the show explores the dual, nuanced experiences of migrants navigating life between worlds. Whether it’s light-hearted chats or deeper conversations, Chat With Nat is your space to feel seen, understood, and a little less alone.
