Mysticism, Creativity, and the Divine: JL Maikaho

 

Naija in the Mix's guest, after the worth-it post-hiatus hiatus (lol), is the remarkable writer, poet, and creative: JL Maikaho.

JL Maikaho

JL is a storyteller, and beyond that, an advocate for exploring the spiritual dimension of creativity. As the founder of Shoshana Global Media, a faith-based literature and entertainment social enterprise, Judith has spent years working on the intersections of mysticism, faith, and the artistic process. Her works have appeared in Brittle Paper, Kalahari Review, Nantygreens, and more, consistently earning recognition for their originality.

In our upcoming interview, JL will open up about her creative journey, her beliefs about the divine, and the spirituality that informs her writing. We’ll discuss the challenges and beauty of writing about mysticism, how she balances faith with the demands of the modern literary world, and the influence of her personal spiritual experiences on her work.

JL will also share insights into her role as a project manager, radio presenter, and alumna of the SprinNG Writing and Advancement Fellowships. She will speak about her selection for the inaugural Flame Tree Writers Project, her award-winning prose, and how her journey as a writer has intertwined with her spiritual growth.

If you’ve ever wondered how spirituality can fuel creativity, or how a writer channels the mysteries of the divine into art, you won’t want to miss this conversation, so join us as we discuss the sacred, the creative, and the mystical. 

Stay tuned for the full interview, where JL will be sharing her thoughts on writing as a form of spiritual practice, the role of God in her life, and the divine inspirations that guide her art.
