    Cue The Q Podcast: Kariba Jack — Seattle's Favorite Photographer On Capturing Real Stories
    Sep 21 2026

    Kariba Jack has spent over a decade behind the camera, becoming known across Seattle and Tacoma as one of the region's most sought-after photographers — capturing weddings, portraits, corporate events, and personal milestones with a style all her own.

    On this episode of Cue The Q Podcast, Kariba joins me to talk about her journey building Kariba Photography from the ground up, what it takes to turn a creative passion into a real, sustainable business, and the stories behind some of her most meaningful work — including her Illuminate Project, a photo magazine celebrating 100 women.

    From Hollywood to Tacoma's First Sitcom | Derek Nunn & Kwabi Amoah-Forson(Tacoma Peace Prize Winner)
    Sep 7 2026

    Derek Nunn spent years in Hollywood production working alongside some of the biggest names in film and television. Kwabi owns Pierce Bus and won the Tacoma Peace Prize for his humanitarian work in this city. A documentary project brought the three of us together — and now we're in the middle of building something that's never been done here: Tacoma's first-ever sitcom.

    On this episode of Cue The Q Podcast, we talk about how relationships brought us to this exact moment, Derek's journey from Tacoma to LA and back, what it actually took to work in Hollywood production, Kwabi's humanitarian work and the story behind winning the Tacoma Peace Prize, and what it's really like being in the middle of building Tacoma's first sitcom together.

    IN THIS EPISODE:
    - How a documentary project brought the three of us together
    - Why relationships are the foundation of everything we build
    - Derek's journey — Tacoma to LA, working in Hollywood production
    - Kwabi's story — Pierce Bus, humanitarian work, and winning the Tacoma Peace Prize
    - What it actually takes to build something that's never existed here before
    - Tacoma's first-ever sitcom — where things stand right now
