The coolest creative room in Africa? It just might be.
How do you react when a project you made in the room and botched peaks on number 2 on I tunes... close to John Legend... So close you can smell the cologne his song is wearing. I speak with musician and producer Rigga on his musical journey and his recording house, Chumbani (Kiswahili for room)
Other conversation here speak on the legendary Hip Hop Outfit Kalamashaka,

THE COST OF DREAMING. A conversation with the Mun Gai (Not Neil Armstrong, but close) (Episode 6)
Is fighting for your dreams truly worth it? Who determines the value of our dreams?
In this episode, I speak with an impeccable writer, Baraza Media Lab curator and 2018 Niemann Fellow at Harvard, Christine Mungai. She shares her own journey of battling for her dreams, what she learned from the 2020 film Softie by Boniface Mwangi as well as how close she came to throwing all of her dreams away.
Additionally, she sheds light on the power of having someone believe in you and how such belief can alter the trajectory of ones life.
Subscribe for more conversations on how creativity can change the world and why we're re enlisting world changers, one recovering creative at a time.

Customer Reviews
I needed this in my life
My friend shared this podcast with me at a time I was struggling to create. Struggling to express my true self through poetry and visual arts. Defeated and depressed.
But listening to this, especially that episode with Wandia Njoya has lifted my spirits in ways I never thought was possible.
I just want to say a huge thank you for this David and I look forward to many more amazing episode. Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
