Freedom with FolaA rough patch in Birmingham, EnglandHi, Superheroes,
In my mid-twenties, I went through a rough patch. I even ended up technically homeless because I chose to pursue the life I wanted, even though I had no clue how to bring it about. I'm grateful that I went through what I did because it taught me a lot about myself, especially the importance of showing up even in seemingly hopeless situations.
Love, peace, and joy

Freedom with FolaFola Jimi on Life lessons with a Prison wardenHi Superheroes
I sat down with a prison warden in a third world maximum security men’s prison. I wanted to understand how he led in a dangerous environment with limited resources. What I learned profoundly challenged my approach to leadership and to accepting poor leadership over me since.
I used to think people lived his values on TV shows like Star Trek, so I was skeptical, but his team backed him up—apparently he walked the talk.
In this episode, I’ll share with you
