How does childhood bullying shape the men we become? In this powerful conversation with author Dami Edun, we explore masculinity, identity, shame, and the inner child work every modern man needs to hear.

Dami Edun is a British-Nigerian author, rapper, and podcaster who weaves compelling narratives across fiction, music, and conversation. 

His debut novel, Ogaman: The Birth of a New King, is a gripping fusion of superhero fiction and dystopian realism, set in a futuristic London infused with Yorùbá mythology. The novel explores the blurred lines between good and evil, power and sacrifice, and the journey from adolescence to adulthood.

Beyond writing, Dami extends his storytelling to the Garden of Edun podcast, where he leads thought-provoking conversations on culture, creativity, and personal growth. Through this medium, he and his guests challenge narratives, uncover untold stories and inspire listeners to navigate their own paths. 

Under the alias ‘DMSTR’, he crafts rap that explores identity, struggle, and resilience, with sharp wordplay, with tracks like Dondurma Riddim and Microaggression.

Following a successful book launch in London, Dami is gearing up for the Lagos edition, further solidifying his impact across the literary and entertainment space. Whether through fiction, music, or conversation, his mission remains to inspire, challenge, and leave a lasting imprint.
