In this inspiring episode of the SheCentre Podcast, I sit down with Maritza — a spoken word artist, performer, media personality, digital creator, and co-founder of Kwanza UG — to explore how purpose often unfolds through unexpected seasons.

Maritza opens up about quitting law school after one semester, only to return later on her own terms. Though she never pursued a legal career, the skills she gained now fuel her creative and professional decisions in the media industry.

Through storytelling, poetry, and personal conviction, she’s navigated male-dominated spaces, unequal pay, and identity challenges — all while staying rooted in her passion for authentic self-expression. For Maritza, perfect self-expression means doing the work you were born to do — and helping others do the same.

🎧 In this episode, we explore:
•How quitting (and returning to) law school shaped her resilience
•Why every detour contributed to her purpose as a performer
•Her insights on contracts, content ownership, and fair pay in media
•The spiritual and cultural power of African storytelling and traditional instruments
•How to embrace your unique path — even when others don’t understand it

Whether you’re a creative, a dreamer, or simply navigating your purpose — Maritza’s story reminds us that your voice matters, your journey counts, and your purpose might already be in motion.
