EP 62: A Sign of Good Faith ft Jeff Schoonmaker

Talk about a wild week since our last episode? I decided to get one of the brothers that I had the honor of serving along with in the United States Navy for a different take on the immigrants' journey. Jeff Schoonmaker is a husband, dad, navy veteran, Ajax fan, and baseball man. Jeff's life is about the past, present, and future with a lot that the average American will never get to experience and embrace.
I hope that you all enjoy as much I did, and take something positive from this episode.

EP 61: Benin City: The Band & City ft Joshua Idehen

Welcome to 2021 and we kick off with someone whom I have had my eyes on for some time only to discover that we share a lot in common. I and the extremely talented, Joshua Idehen both grew up in Benin City at the same time and even hung out at some spots without knowing each other in the 90s. It was such an honor to catch up and learn from someone whom I had been admiring for a while and shall continue to adore.
 
Joshua is a Poet, workshop person, songwriter, novelist, show producer, spoken word promoter, writer, frontman, he is an all-around creative.
 
Check out all of Joshua's art, from his poetry to music, and more. He is a in of three bands (Benin City, LV, & HUGH)  and when you hear this man speak, it will make sense to you why Ava Duvernay is one of his followers on Twitter. I recommend that you follow and listen to Joshua Idehen's music on streaming platforms. He is a fun follow on Instagram (other social media too). I love this guy, his energy, and his music. Seriously, his poetry and music are awesome.

EP 60: Positivity with the Bantu Boyz ft Bileko Wissa & Julien Tshikuna

This year I have been fortunate to have a few comedians amongst the guests on the podcast. It felt right to wrap up the year 2020 with not one but two of my favorite friends of the podcast in the studio (remotely) to take us through Congo, Belgium, France, Los Angeles, and more. Bileko Wissa and Julien Tshikuna are two brethren that I just love as they always make me laugh with their skits on IG and they have a dope podcast too.
Be sure to not only check out Bantu Boyz Podcast but also go on Instagram & YouTube for more of their awesomeness https://lnk.bio/a3gc.
On Amazon Prime, the Bantu Boyz has a comedy special "Laugh With Africa."
Thank you for your support throughout 2020 you all are the best.
