What a crazy few days it has been, first, my daughter contracted the virus and the whole family had to be under quarantine, then in the end I test positive and have to isolate. So plans had to change and I decided to bring back one of the golden episodes. Dr. Connie DePinho is on the board of the African Women's Education Fund (AWEF), she is a clinical psychologist based in Westchester NY with an amazing immigrant story that's worth resharing. I hope that you enjoy and learn as much as I did fro...

Rodney Jehu-Appiah may have been raised in a country that I have links to, however, his ancestral ties go beyond West Africa and into three continents. Plus he is now in my neighborhood in Brooklyn, so dig in and find out about this fascinating man who seems to have a whole lot more waiting to be explored. This was just a tease from him. There's a whole discussion about reparations on Patreon too. Don't forget to invite your friends and loved ones to join us. If you haven't given five stars and ...

This is another first for the podcast. I am so honored to present the first cousins to appear as the guests of the podcast. Amaka Abara & Jennifer-Anne Stodel are proof that lots of immigrants don't do cousins, we just do brothers or sisters. Their bond is strong and they are truly a team. They create together, manage together, and grow together. This was a blast of a conversation to have with them. Be on the lookout for #parloursessions hashtag. It's theirs and you can catch one of their events...

Laudelina Martinez opened my eyes to the world of art in ways that haven't been done before, from her name to defining art, Nuyoricans, and life. Art is beyond everything that I had assumed it be, it is our life. Laudelina broke art down on a beautiful level, along with so much more in this fun episode and I can't wait to visit her gallery. I highly recommend checking it out and have posted the website below. I wish that I had Laudelina as my teacher earlier in life. Check out Martinez Gallery f...

It's not every day that I am fortunate to have in the studio a sailor and Reuters journalist as a guest. A great honor to have Maurice D.B. Tamman whose work I love. When I first made contact with Maurice, I did not expect that this would lead to a great conversation spanning three continents and more countries. Tales about mermaids and witches, climate change impact on migration, and a lovely chat about adult immigrant's struggles when it comes to acculturation. There's a lot more in this episo...

An Immigrant's path is heavily influenced by our fathers in the shaping when it comes to our evolution and how we approach being a father. For our official Father's Day episode I had three girl dads living in Brooklyn join me in the studio to talk about how they are impacted by fatherhood so far (yes we are all vaccinated). I hope that everyone listening is able to get to the point where they can acknowledge the #good #bad and #ugly that exists rather than the compulsory picture of perfection. I...

Every time a guest opens up and shares a part of their journey that a few years ago, I would have done my best to hide, I am always honored that my guests chose my platform to do so and will forever be grateful. Michael Burhan is an actor, director, voic
