The Global Renaissance PodcastArmchair PsychoanalysisTherapy isn’t for everybody, but it can often be a great way to discover deep rooted thought and behavior patterns that affect your life. This has been the experience of my close friend Nellisha, who started therapy this year, and myself, who's been seeing the same therapist for nearly a decade. During this episode we both share our perspectives around therapy, followed by a discussion of 3 questions that I've posed to my Instagram followers via story polls recently.

Echezona)Last summer, I went to BAMS Fest in Boston, ran into one of the most prominent artists in the Boston music scene and told him I wanted to get him on the pod.

Our conversation is full of insights into his foundations as an artist, the evolution of his sound, and a peak into his upcoming album, Enyi.

2025-01-141h 07The Global Renaissance PodcastThe Black Table: A Reflection on Adolescent Development in a Hostile School EnvironmentAdolescence is a challenging time in life for everyone, but coming of age in an environment where you feel you aren't welcome but can't leave is a whole different beast. From seventh through twelfth grade, I, along with my close friends Tchorzky and Benjy, attended a private, all boys Catholic school where the student population was over 80% white. This racial composition forced us to navigate some complicated dynamics and in this episode, we reflect on how being placed in such a position affected our development as young men.

This, however, does not matter to this episode's guest, Codi Ann Reid, who has objected to any type of Jamaican association on my part since we shared the halls of Harvard's Adams House. Heritage and identity center much of our conversation, while we also explore ideas of liminality, emotional suppression, and others that have shaped our senses of self.
