E124. I Wish My Dad… - with Romal Tune, Author & Social Impact Entrepreneur, Atlanta, GA
“The journey I'm on is trying to unpack my story in a way to find out who I am without my trauma. And what does life look like and how is it lived if I stop living through the lens of my trauma and the things that have been challenging for me, and really focus on purpose.”
Ever Forward Club’s Ashanti Branch is joined by Romal Tune. Romal is a father, author, social impact Entrepreneur, and VP of Strategic Partnerships at TMS Global. Along with his main purpose - to help people heal their stories - Romal loves to travel and collect art. In this conversation, Ashanti and Romal share the masks they present to the world, and Romal explains how understanding his own masks led him to the idea of writing his latest book, I Wish My Dad.
(1:05) Ashanti's introduction.
(7:45) Romal introduces himself, his work, his most recent book, and his family.
(11:30) Romal shares the front of his mask - creativity, caring, passionate - and how his childhood shaped his interests, passions, and desire to heal.
(16:15) Ashanti shares the front of his mask - passionate, serious, caring. Then, Romal and Ashanti reflect on their relationships with art and creativity.
(21:40) Romal shares the back of his mask - anxiety, doubt, lonely - and how his journey on the back of the mask is an exercise in unpacking things about himself.
(26:55) Ashanti shares the back of his mask - anxiety, fear, body shame - and how these feelings have become more present with age as the purpose of his journey has crystallized.
(38:35) Romal explains the impetus behind his book, I Wish My Dad.
(44:25) Then, Ashanti and Romal observe how both young people and adults are learning how to love each other better by breaking down social paradigms.
(53:55) Romal shares how you can buy his book and get in touch.
