This week Michelle speaks with Tania Lodi founder of Tania's Tea House located in the prestigious Jumeirah Beach, Dubai. The cafe is aesthetically beautiful and has been voted the 7th most instagrammable cafe in the world, which is very impressive. The cafe attracts people far and wide from the quintessential Jumeriah Janes to social media-savvy millennials. It is the place to be if you're visiting Dubai and want a memorable experience and beautiful Instagram photos to post. In this episode, we speak about Tania's personal journey in life the motivation and process of creating one of the most successful tea houses in Dubai. During Tania's university studies she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, which led her to research natural remedies as an alternative to medicine. Tania discovered the wonderful health benefits of tea drinking and uses this to help and inspire others. She also has a serious peanut allergy, so training her cafe staff about allergies and food intolerances was paramount. We cover so many interesting topics from starting up a business, tea, sustainability, gender bias, Dubai, cats and so much more. One of our favourite thing about Tania's lovely Tea House is that it's completely pet friendly. So if you're out for the day with your fur baby dog or even cat perhaps they are more than welcome.

This week Michelle speaks with Joy Joseph, a multi-talented drummer, percussionist, singer/songwriter, and actor originally from London, but currently residing in Brooklyn. Joy's passion for music started early, partly due to the fact that she was born into a musical as the daughter of Trinidadian Calypso legend Alexander D Great. But she found her own sound and musical path, which led her to become part of Mr Hudson's Library. This connection put Joy on track for her musical career and has since toured with artists such as Kanye West, Amy Winehouse, Erykah Badu, and Calvin Harris to name a few. In 2016 Joy released her first EP 'Who I am' which features her hallmark Afro-Caribbean percussion, 80's ethno-electronic sound, vocals, and production. But when Joy isn't busy being a musical legend; she shares her love for our favourite feline friends, posting and sharing funny cats on social media. Joy's cat Graham is still running things in West London at her uncle's house while she is in the states. But she's currently looking after cats; who are living in the courtyard of her Brooklyn apartment, who she refers to as the Georgette's. If you want to find out more about Joy and her music you can find her @joy_josephmusic on Instagram and www.joyjosephmusic.com/music
