A very special episode of #BlackMenSpeakSundays for my 30th birthday!! Absolutely loved this conversation with Nahom of TPN Atlanta for this lovely episode. Nahom chose the thing every immigrant parent hates, a non-traditional route to success. Was definitely inspired by the mindset, determination, and focus that he has for life.
