Jay Boogie has not only gained critical acclaim for his flourishing musical career, but also for his efforts to talk more openly about gender issues, for example on his show on Know-Wave radio, and promote self-appreciation through taking care of one’s physical health, as it impacts the mental health majorly.
For the talk, we prepared healthy detox smoothies and couscous, and presented the face and body towels that were created out of the collaboration of Jay Boogie with 1.1.
