This week we tap into the creative journey of London based photographer Shingi Rice! Shingi is a photographer and UGC creator who tells us about her life through online sharing. Like all of us, she hasn’t updated her website in a while but that led us to some incredible gems of remembering how she moved through the world during her Saturn return (who can relate 😭). We did a lot to get here so I hope you enjoy!
