About this listen

Too many words to express how much I enjoyed the dialogue with the good brother, Temi (IG @ ViewsFromACap).

We start off discussing the identity challenges non-African-American Black people face(ed), especially as children. Temi expressed the importance of research and history in finding himself and a balance between being Nigerian at home and Black in the U.S. We follow-up discussing my fears (and others) about Hip-Hop becoming whitewashed like all other music genres Black people have pioneered. We close out with Temi discussing being on the verge of suicide three times and finding that it wasn't his purpose to end his life at those moments. Temi discusses finding his passion for photography through his last experience, the importance of self-healing, balancing creativity with life to free himself from depressive states, and the importance of moving forward. Lastly, Temi shares the story of his current fitness journey. And we discuss the importance of finding a healthy journey to invest in yourself today for tomorrow.
