Naima Shaloub is the authentic real- deal. The conversation alone is inspiring and then there’s her music! She admits she is a perfectionist and the quality of the music and the production reflect this. ‘Hope is verb with its sleeves rolled up’ (Baruch) This certainly applies to Naima Shaloub as you can’t help feeling she may go on to make her mark in politics and do a lot of good which is very re-assuring. A top notch powerful episode altogether. Thank you, Baruch! P.S. We share our love of numbers and glad she chose to release nine tracks as I did! Nine is also the number of unconditional love. xx*
