Since 2020-ish, I have had the honor of working on Mind Your Own, a podcast developed and captained by Lupita Nyong’o about the global African experience. Each of these stories attempts to answer the question, “What does it mean to belong?", in hilarious, beautiful, poignant ways. Lupita herself starts each episode with a story of her own.

It’s probably the best project I’ve ever been a part of. My role was to scout, pitch, and develop stories as they staffed up the show and give feedback on the episodes. I’m credited as “Story Consultant” on the series and Producer/Editor on two episodes:

“Freedom Fathers” — I edited the first story in this episode.

“School Daze” — I produced this episode. A long-time-coming collaboration between me and my friend Odinaka Ezeokoli.
