S03 EP03 - Sindiso Nyoni

Sindiso Nyoni, also known as R!OT; is a Zimbabwean graphic artist based in South Africa. On this episode, he takes us through his amazing journey from a kid growing up in Bulawayo to being one of the few designers who’s first name has become a brand. Sindiso’s story is truly inspiring and it's refreshing to hear him touch on topics decision making, freelancing, family and legacy and breaking down barriers facing people of color in the design world in a way he's rarely done in previous interviews. You definitely should listen in!

S03 EP02 - Desola Falomo

Desola Falomo is the creative director and founder of Twenty Six, a fashion brand she started after she borrowed her cousin’s sewing machine and taught herself to sew. Having seen her parents thrive at entrepreneurship, it was only a matter of time before she took a shot at it herself but this was after she’s gotten degrees in Architecture from Nigeria and the UK. Desola’s journey has morphed overtime and has come to include incursions into interior and set design and it’s super exciting because she’s only just getting started!

S03 EP01 - Rotimi Fernandez Dawodu

On the first episode of this rather short new season, I speak to Rotimi Fernandez Dawodu, founder of Majestic Management Company and he shares his very interesting journey to being a sports intermediary. Rotimi’s story is one of grit, perseverance and the bravery to make the tough calls at critical points during his journey. I enjoyed this conversation a whole lot and I’m sure you will too.

S02 EP07 - Naeto C

Naeto C needs little to no introduction as he’s moved the culture over the course of his career, but very little is known about the man behind the music and his journey. I spent time with Naeto recently and this episode is a result of our conversations, recorded over a period of time and condensed into a 1 hour episode; where we cover everything from career, to family, Nigerian politics and even SARS/ police brutality.

S02EP03 - Ese (Allen and Fifth)

Ese is largely behind the scenes but you’ve probably heard of or worn something from her clothing brand called Allen and Fifth. On this episode, we talk about her journey; making and learning from your mistakes, choosing your battles, mental health, legacy and so much more. I particularly love this episode because at some point, her beautiful daughter makes a cameo during our conversation.
