In this episode of 5to9, I chatted with Paff Evara, a writer, creator, founder, and public speaker empowering queer people of color to be their most authentic selves.

Originally from a small village in Australia, they’ve spent their career in digital marketing and most recently heading up a paid digital agency in Scotland. They are now a creator with a community of over 100k people, consultant for companies like Meta on diversity, a touring speaker, and co-founder of Take up Space, a decentralized community-driven media company for BIPOC and queer voices to connect, learn and heal.

We talked about their journey to burnout, their trust fall into the universe aka quitting their job with no plan, how they became a paid touring speaker, why they always strive to get out of their comfort zone, the difference between delusional and abundance mindset and more!

This is Paff Evara for 5to9.
