In this episode of Talking Tech with Creatives, I sit with Ope Oduwole, Editor-in-Chief of Floor Magazine, to explore the intersection of creativity, technology, and community-building.

Ope shares his journey in launching Floor Magazine, a platform dedicated to uplifting Black creatives across various art forms.
