Loading player...
Creativity has a way of telling stories that words
sometimes can’t and today’s guest has spent years doing
exactly that. Born and raised in Johannesburg, Naledi
Leeuw, better known as Nawedi, has been drawing for as
long as the can remember.
Over the past seven years, they’ve transformed that
lifelong passion into creating manga, comics and
animations that reflect real emotions and meaningful
experiences. With dreams of building a globally successful
manga and recently exploring music as another creative
outlet, Nawedi is proving that art has no limits. Today, we’ll
dive into the journey behind the illustrations, the inspiration
and the vision shaping their creative world.
