Every year I select six inspiring and diverse individuals to speak to on The Allegory podcast – and only then is the season released. For the Season II finale I’m so pleased it’s with my friend D'bi Young Anitafrika– she is truly a force of nature.

D’bi is an inspiration. An honourable dub poet. An academic. A political and social activist. She is highly decorated – around her collar she wears The Canadian Poet of Honour, the Global Leader in Theatre & Performance by Arts Council England, amongst many other high achieving accolades. She’s currently completing a phd – her research is entitled Decolonial, Praxis, Performance & Pedagogy.

She has developed a framework of using art as an intervention medium to decolonising and to healing. She is now teaching this method to practitioners of any background at her international Decolonial Arts Centre in Costa Rica.

This is a joyful & deeply intellectual conversation – we cover how to:

• Align your passion with the universe;
• Face adversity with pragmaticism, and
• Act in integrity with who you are and hold yourself accountable when you deviate.

Take a listen to the season finale, an honest conversation with me and D’bi.
