Ayo Akinokun is a tech consultant and multifaceted artist living in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood. In this episode we discuss Ayo's global journey from Nigeria to Chicago and his experiences, insights, and love for the eclectic Uptown area. We delve into Ayo's creative pursuits, including acting and singing, and how living in Chicago has influenced his career and personal growth. The episode provides a deep dive into the cultural diversity of Uptown, Ayo’s views on the neighborhood's hidden gems, and his journey across various countries before calling Chicago home.

The Living in Chicago Podcast is where I, Jake Lyons, get to interview all kinds of people about the Chicago neighborhoods they live in, work in, and play in. This way, you can learn about the lifestyle pros and cons of various neighborhoods directly from the people who live there (or maybe even learn something new about your own neighborhood!)
