I've heard Aka Niviâna speak during the three day Global Landscapes Forum last May in Bonn, only met her at the final day and took my shot at asking her for the podcast. I didn't want this episode to start with a "OK, please share your poems" but was more interested in her personal story and her process. It's an inspiring conversation with a young woman that has so many talents with an almost equal amount of challenges that she had to face, did face head on, and boy did she overcome them. Give her a shout out on twitter @arcticasfck or drop a message on fb.com/talesofthearctic/ definitely keep an eye on her she's a force to be reckoned with.
