EP 89: My Heart Is Always In Angola ft Dr. Connie DePinho

What a crazy few days it has been, first, my daughter contracted the virus and the whole family had to be under quarantine, then in the end I test positive and have to isolate. So plans had to change and I decided to bring back one of the golden episodes.
Dr. Connie DePinho is on the board of the African Women's Education Fund (AWEF), she is a clinical psychologist based in Westchester NY with an amazing immigrant story that's worth resharing. I hope that you enjoy and learn as much as I did from this great story.

EP 88 : A Place Where Your Leg Sinks Into The Mud ft Rodney Jehu-Appiah

 Rodney Jehu-Appiah may have been raised in a country that I have links to, however, his ancestral ties go beyond West Africa and into three continents. Plus he is now in my neighborhood in Brooklyn, so dig in and find out about this fascinating man who seems to have a whole lot more waiting to be explored. This was just a tease from him. There's a whole discussion about reparations on Patreon too.

EP 87: Never Say Never ft Amaka Abara & Jennifer-Anne Stodel

This is another first for the podcast. I am so honored to present the first cousins to appear as the guests of the podcast. Amaka Abara & Jennifer-Anne Stodel are proof that lots of immigrants don't do cousins, we just do brothers or sisters. Their bond is strong and they are truly a team. They create together, manage together, and grow together. This was a blast of a conversation to have with them. Be on the lookout for #parloursessions hashtag. It's theirs and you can catch one of their events that way especially if you're in Nigeria.

EP 85: We Give More Than We Take Wherever We Go ft Derrick N Ashong (DNA)

Sometimes you reach out to someone interesting to be a guest on the podcast and they instead introduce you to a couple of people who you never realized that you needed to have a conversation with and that my friends are how I got lucky to be introduced to Derrick N Ashong aka DNA one of the finest, most authentic, tech, music, all-round content creating guru and leaders to be born on the continent of Africa. This conversation fulfilled a glorious purpose in my life and I hope that it does in yours.

EP 84: You Can Live & Breathe Art ft Laudelina Martinez

Laudelina Martinez opened my eyes to the world of art in ways that haven't been done before, from her name to defining art, Nuyoricans, and life. Art is beyond everything that I had assumed it be, it is our life. Laudelina broke art down on a beautiful level, along with so much more in this fun episode and I can't wait to visit her gallery. I highly recommend checking it out and have posted the website below. I wish that I had Laudelina as my teacher earlier in life.

EP 83:A Writer Writes To Be Read ft Maurice D.B. Tamman

It's not every day that I am fortunate to have in the studio a sailor and Reuters journalist as a guest. A great honor to have Maurice D.B. Tamman whose work I love. When I first made contact with Maurice, I did not expect that this would lead to a great conversation spanning three continents and more countries. Tales about mermaids and witches, climate change impact on migration, and a lovely chat about adult immigrant's struggles when it comes to acculturation. There's a lot more in this episode and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did

EP 82: We Get The Children We Deserve ft Rodney Jehu-Appiah, Cesar Benoît & Mark Butler

An Immigrant's path is heavily influenced by our fathers in the shaping when it comes to our evolution and how we approach being a father. For our official Father's Day episode I had three girl dads living in Brooklyn join me in the studio to talk about how they are impacted by fatherhood so far (yes we are all vaccinated). I hope that everyone listening is able to get to the point where they can acknowledge the #good #bad and #ugly that exists rather than the compulsory picture of perfection. I appreciate my guests for their honesty and an extra shout-out to our wonderful partners! I hope to introduce more sessions like this for other holidays down the line.
Happy Father's Day!

EP 81: You Have Got To Be Open & Honest With Yourself ft Michael Burhan

Every time a guest opens up and shares a part of their journey that a few years ago, I would have done my best to hide, I am always honored that my guests chose my platform to do so and will forever be grateful. Michael Burhan is an actor, director, voice artist, and all-around creative. He is a teacher and lover of animals. I admire Michael's embrace of life, fatherhood, accountability, breaking out of the cycle of toxicity, sexuality, immigrant journey, and so much more. I can listen to Michael forever.
