Reflecting on a deeply personal journey, this episode of Mindfully With Tunmise reconnects us with the immensely talented photographer Seun Akisanmi.

Back in 2009, Seun captured a significant image that marked an important moment in my life, and now, we sit down to talk about his current battles.

 He courageously opens up about his struggles, comparing them to a modern-day valley of the shadow of death.

Listen to how Seun despite immense cultural pressure to suppress his emotions, finds solace and motivation through his audience's unexpected support and his renewed passion for writing.

Transitioning to a different but equally profound story, we hear from an individual who spent time in multiple American prisons. The narrative sheds light on the unique camaraderie among inmates and the complex emotional landscape of prison life.

The discussion becomes particularly moving when it focuses on the speaker’s relationship with his father, who, despite the pain and shame, provided unwavering support.

This familial love and pragmatic approach became the bedrock for the speaker's drive to rebuild his life post-incarceration, offering listeners a deeply human perspective on forgiveness and redemption.

We also explore the inspiring journey of a passionate photographer who overcame familial scepticism to pursue his craft. Starting with just a Nokia 7200 camera phone, his persistence eventually earned his father's support.

This chapter also touches on his transition into woodworking, where he emphasizes the importance of seasoned mentors and the value of tailored learning paths.

By sharing his experiences, he hopes to encourage others to embrace non-traditional routes to success and fulfilment, highlighting that individualized education can unlock unique talents and passions.
