Ask Me Anything - with Amsa Yaro

What is your artistic background?

I am a self-taught mixed media artist.

Name some favourite films/albums/work of arts/pieces of literature:

Topping the charts for movies right now would be Sinners. It has everything I enjoy, the soundtrack, the genre, the story itself. I have held myself from over watching it so that it doesn’t lose its impact on me. Cowboy Carter has dominated my playlist. I can’t seem to stop at one song, I must listen to everything and if it loops back to the beginning, well, we go through the loop until something interrupts us. 

What are you happiest doing, when you’re not working?

Catching up with family, friends, loved ones.

What is your personal motto?

My personal motto is to stay a student of life. Granted, I may not be the best pupil, but I see life as a journey of lessons. You score 100 for somethings, you fail and try again for other things but the more we learn, the more open we are to ideas and the easier it gets to allow things to be.
