My Home is Special – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode, I chat with my friend and pastor, Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III, about his unique sense of "home" within the Black church tradition. While I thought we’d talk about "the pulpit" as his home, our conversation revealed something much deeper. Growing up as a preacher’s kid surrounded by civil rights leaders we’ve all studied in school, Pastor Moss brings a perspective rooted in history, faith, and the ongoing fight for justice. Releasing this episode on Inauguration Day feels right—voices like his are more vital now than ever.

This episode features my friend Rahel, who I’ve known for over a decade and who’s the co-founder of Ilava, an African fashion company. Rahel is doing more than just designing clothes—she’s helping to reshape people’s connection to the African continent through fashion. I’m so excited she joined me for this conversation!

You can find her at https://myilava.com/ and @Myilava on instagram.

Yikes!  What happens when you go to place that you’ve wanted to visit “forever”?  You end up with a lot to share.  This whopper of an episode includes a conversation with Sayed and a lot of reflection with Taylor.  In retrospect, we could have done a whole podcast on the time spent in Egypt.  It is an amazing place and this episode starts to explain why.

Yeah, it sounds like Keith got hustled on Day 1, but may have found a new home.  History?  Yes, things happened in Greece, but is the evidence still there?  Despite the cattle call and a peculiar hotel, Keith saw the place where the influencers go.  Then he got to experience Sindi’s home island and _really_ experience all the wonderful things about Greece.  Taylor and Keith cover a lot in this episode.  Enjoy!

Yikes!  There was a lot to share after the first stop on our 3rd trip.  In this episode, Keith reconnects with Kwame to talk about all the special places he visited in Ghana.  Keith and Taylor talk about a “homecoming” vibe, history, and more. 

As an added bonus, we have a friend of the show come on and share the story of Ethical Apparel Africa (https://www.ethicalapparelafrica.com/), which was one of the best stops we made in Ghana.  It’s a long episode, but worth it!

One of the most important benefits of traveling is the opportunity to see history and learn about "the world"from a totally different POV than what you're taught in school.  

After 6 weeks traveling through 5 countries, Keith & Taylor catch up to reflect on some eye-opening moments in the region.  The US role in the region's development, feelings about the king, and "me vs. we" are all things that's that they discuss in this episode.  Oh yeah, and let's finally reveal how Taylor got her nickname:  The Butter Bandit.

We saw someone get beat up.  We booked a boardroom.  We had amazing nights.  We met some great people.   Yes.  It was all part of our trip to Thailand.  May Thai, food tasting, jazz, and more were fun parts of our time enjoying Oakley’s home.  In this episode, Binkey joins Keith and Taylor for a discussion of one of the most amazing nights of this whole trip.  Plus, Taylor and I discuss all kinds of fun things about this stop on the journey.

Why don’t you stare at people in his hometown?  How can I try to risk my life as we go around the city?   Our last stop is a familiar England, but we’re hoping to get out to see more of the country on this trip.  Inspired by a longtime friend, I think we’ll hit that goal this time.

Risking it all for photo?  A brawl on the train?  Sure... But more importantly papaya salad, great people and bumping into an old, new friend upon arrival. This recap episode has a little bit of everything.  Lao PDR was a great stop!
