Hi there! My name is Akín, and thanks for tuning in.

On the podcast I chat with diverse guests from all backgrounds, and they talk about their lived experiences & stories, and share the words, quotes or sayings that have shaped their mindsets. With all the stories that are shared, there is also the underlying theme of mental health and wellbeing, and in many instances, also discussing heritage, culture and their own unique individual outlook to life

Also, despite the serious tone of certain issues and themes discussed, a light-hearted approach is also injected into the conversations which also displays the resilience of the guests and their humour, despite the circumstance.

I hope you find the conversations educational and enriching to your wellbeing.

Keep Rising & Thriving, Aṣẹ!

Executive producer: Ashanti Omkar
