In this episode, I speak with Martin Ogun - a Toronto-based Nigerian artist under the moniker "Martinses". Martin is a key member of Afrique Like Me - which is a Toronto-based collective that also includes Razaq El Toro and Sonic Griot.

Topics discussed include:

a. Afrobeat vs Afrobeats

b. How to develop a mature relationship with your parents

c. Navigating power structures and confrontation in different societies

d. Should you niche down when you have multiple passions?

e. Why you need to have more difficult conversations

f. How to build community

g. The struggles with starting a fashion line
