In this episode, Tèmítáyò Olófinlúà and I unpack what it means to be an artist and an immigrant. We share vulnerable moments about struggling to survive, learning to write in foreign places, fighting for our creativity, and being open-minded.
We had a lot of laughs on this one, and this might be the episode where I’ve spoken the most!
