“My grandmother just looked at me in the eyes. She's like, ‘You should be happy that I'm alive. What are you crying for?’

And then I was just like, I know, I know… But you know, it's like tears of joy. Maybe there was a different feeling of ‘Why did you abandon me or why did you leave me?’ Maybe there was that sort of anger as well. But you know, it was more of, ‘I don't give a shit about that. You're here now…’

The majority of my life, I just wanted my mom and my grandmother, I just wanted to be loved.”

Episode #156 of The Hope Initiative with Ras-Samuel Welda’abzgi.

Ras-Samuel is an actor, producer and part time savage.

Hailing from Ethiopa, he moved to Australia with his father and 2 siblings before he was 10, and quickly yearned for his old life without the first world problems faced here in Australia. A life of crime ensued, until time spent in Juvie and a reconnected with his roots back in his homeland showed him the path to storytelling and acting.

Living out his grandmothers prophecy day by day, this was a fun chat with Ras-Samuel!

Thanks for joining me my friend.

I hope you all enjoy!

Stay hard xx
