adidas x GUAP Originals Creator Network Program - The Power of Music 

From April to November 2025, I was apart of the Originals Creator Network Program supported by Adidas and GUAP magazine. In these 7 months, I engaged in workshops with industry professionals as well as collaborated with members on the cohort to produce creative outcomes for our exhibition surrounding the theme; The Power of Music. My group's project; PILLARS documents female talent who are community leaders in a short film and we also capture the essence of music and movement within their respective spaces in these editorial shoots. This project was showcased at the Copeland Gallery in Peckham, South London on Wednesday 26th November 2025.

​

We chose to select two talents for our project; CARI (known as @carimakesnoise) is a West London singer-songwriter whose soul-rich sound draws on Gospel, R&B, and raw emotional honesty. As a pillar in her community, she transforms vulnerability into strength, offering music that uplifts, heals, and carves space for women to embrace their truth unapologetically. 

​

Nathalie Zangi (@nat_zangi) is a London-based choreography and movement director whose work bridging Afro, commercial, contemporary, and street styles lights up stage, video and brand campaigns. As a pillar in her community, she builds vibrant spaces for expression and movement - amplifying Black female artistry and making performances accessible and inspiring for dancers of all backgrounds.
