Podcast Q&A
Why did you start this show?
I started STITCH PLEASE to create a platform tailored for Black women, girls, and femmes passionate about sewing. There was a gap to bridge: archiving the immense Black creativity in sewing and quilting while showcasing diverse talents – from students to seasoned artists. It's more than just featuring voices; it's about sharing expansive insights, exploring unique projects, and dropping handy tips. Ultimately, it's a celebration of the depth and diversity in our community's stitching stories.
What do you hope listeners gain from listening to your show?
We hope listeners appreciate the richness of Black creativity in sewing and quilting. We aim to meet the unique needs of Black women, girls, and femmes in this art form. Through archiving narratives and featuring diverse perspectives from students to artists, our episodes shine a spotlight on expansive Black experiences in sewing. By delving into specific projects, tips, and techniques, we hope to inspire, educate, and celebrate Black artistry in every stitch.

What is your vision for your show?
Our vision for the show is to establish a vibrant nexus for Black creatives in sewing, quilting, and other needle arts. We're committed to chronicling the varied stitching experiences and expertise within the Black community. Moreover, we aspire to be an invaluable resource, offering ideas, patterns, products, and spotlighting businesses that prioritize and applaud Black women in the sewing and quilting domain.
What is your favourite other podcast that isn't yours?
Tea with Queen and J.
How did you come up with the name for your podcast?
Stitch Please is a play on a popular African American vernacular phrase. I heard it spoken among and between women when I was a girl. The lack of comma is deliberate. The lack of punctuation (required of standard English) is my way of claiming the multiple tones and meanings of the phrase when spoken among Black women, girls, and femmes.
Tell us a bit about yourself
I am a 6th generation sewing enthusiast: my grandmother was a seamstress and so was her grandmother. As a sewing podcaster, I draw on my roles as an interdisciplinary scholar, textile artist, and social justice advocate to facilitate engaging interviews and provide sewing and quilting tips.
