    414 Finale

    We have come to the end of another dope season. We appreciate every single guest that show up and blessed us with their presence, perspectives and wisdom. This season represented and reaffirmed our growth not just as a podcast, but as people and a community. A lot of the topics we talked about were inspired from the people we surrounded ourselves with daily for the past year and we hope that we did them justice. Thanks again for listening to another season - can't wait to come back for SZN5!F...

    On this episode, we bring back the one and only, Johnathan West (@beinghusbandpod).

    411 Family, Fatherhood, Football ft. Dom Badji

    On this episode, we bring back one of our favorite people--Dom Badji (@badji14).

We talked a lot about his family, religion, and Senegalese culture on that episode. Since then, a lot has been going on for him like changing teams, seeing his parents for the first time in years, having a daughter and building his own family, and what type of parent h...

    408 Peace & Pan-Africanism ft. Stephen & Pierre

    The magic that can happen from a group chat. We have been friends with Pierre (@pierremvono from episode 216 in S2) & Stephen (@stephayeni) for 3 years now and it was all thanks to one misspoken segment from our first season.

Also a very funny episode to listen to.If you haven't listened to Pierre's story yet, check it out here: iTunes: https://podcasts.appl...
