About this listen
In this episode of Verandah Talk, we’re joined by the acclaimed actor, playwright, director, and broadcaster Kwame Kwei-Armah. From his dream veranda in the hills of Grenada—overlooking the ocean, surrounded by mountains and family photos—Kwame offers us a cold glass of coconut water and an intimate glimpse into his world.
He shares the story behind leaving his birth name, Ian Roberts, and how his “restless curiosity and fierce resistance” have shaped his life and career. From the early days of navigating identity to his groundbreaking work in theatre and his current role with The Story Collective, Kwame reflects on what it means to create, to belong, and to see others fully.
“You exist because I see you, you are part of we... You are not here alone.”
It’s a rich, thoughtful, and inspiring conversation—pull up a chair and join us on the verandah.
