Good conversations leave you feeling like that. 😊
After recording our special tribute episode honouring Ebo Taylor, we took a moment in the lounge at Qube Studios to reflect on what we'd just discussed.
Kweku Aacht of EBOFEST brought so much warmth and knowledge to this one — the history, the music, the mission to take this festival global. It was a privilege to document it.
The full episode is out now. 🎵

Afro Soul Stories

What does it really mean to belong?

In this episode with Antonio Michael Downing, we talk about living between cultures—Trinidad, Canada, his new book Black Cherokee, his musical career as John Orpheus and the culture of the wider diaspora—and what it means to carry identity across borders.

One thing that stayed with me:
You can feel like you belong everywhere… and nowhere at the same time.

If you’ve ever experienced that, this conversation will resonate.
