We’re looking forward to introducing you to Honour Indigo. Check out our conversation below.
Honour, really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What are you chasing, and what would happen if you stopped?
I chose this question to show our readers that there is more power in attracting instead of chasing. What I’m attracting are more enriching experiences and people. Ways for me to learn and grow in a way that is most aligned with me.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hello. I’m Honour Indigo, a multi-hyphenated artist, though my most spiritually attuned medium is music. By trade, I am a storyteller through video creating and photography. These are also passions of mine which I feel magnify my impact and vision as a musical artist. Utilized intentionally, these visual mediums become critical because they shed light and add dimension to important issues and have the ability connect marketplaces to their far-reaching audiences as well as showcase all creative forms of expression onto the world stage. This is the essence of my creative documentation agency and digital magazine, IN QUEUE.
A fun project I recently had the pleasure of capturing was a Creator’s Night where artists of all walks gathered in a repurposed school building downtown to network and create without pressure or expectation. It is sad to hear how the building has issued to the last handful of artists their 30 days notice after it has housed over 40 artists in the past 5 years. This is where a large part of my conviction to document originates as well, highlighting what is going on right now in effort to try to make a change for our creative and marginalized communities.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
My earliest memory of feeling powerful must have been planting seeds in the earth of our family garden and watching them grow into the fruits, flowers, or veggies we could use in our own dishes. In my childhood, for me, feeling powerful always came from me tapping into my own authority and creating something. As a teenager, when I’d begun learning and creating music, there were times where I felt overwhelmed by the things I was creating because I knew there were no limits to where I could take it.
What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
I’d say the most defining wounds came from me abandoning myself to conform to other’s and society’s roles for me in hopes of being accepted. I realized that doing this would only lead to me shrinking into an abyss of apathy and stagnancy so I had to reflect on what I wanted for myself. The answer has always been the same — freedom. To rise above the limitations and constrictions I’d been expected to embody and live life in a light and liberated way, the way I’d come into this world.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
My closest friends would say I value depth and unmasked expression. That I prioritize learning, contemplation, meditation.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. If you laid down your name, role, and possessions—what would remain?
My love and passion for people and the world.
