Pt.2 – Know Thyself: The Makings of Me

Welcome to the SPACE & TIME Podcast. I emigrated to the US from Cabo Verde when I was seven and have learned much I want to share. The best therapy is communication, I want to foster the best ones I can. I feel one of my responsibilities is to start and push conversations with people of color at the helm. Some of the things most important to me are the health and wealth disparity in the black community, the pursuit of mastering yourself, living a life with passion, and not compromising your vision. We are more alike than different, it's imperative we know more about each other. As James Baldwin said: “In order to have a conversation with someone, you must reveal yourself." Anything else is unwelcome. “An artist's duty is to reflect the times" –Nina Simone
