In this episode, host NeAndre Broussard—founder and CEO of Black Menswear—sits down with actor Jimmy Akingbola to peel back the layers on his real-life foster care story, his journey from East London stages to Hollywood screens, and what it means to dare to dream when the odds are stacked against you. From earning £400 a week doing plays to becoming part of the Bel-Air legacy, Jimmy shares how faith, resilience, and craft shaped the man behind one of TV’s coldest “fixers.”

In this conversation, they unpack:

 If you’ve ever questioned your path, battled “no” after “no,” or wondered if your story is too messy to be used for something great, this episode is a reminder: you are enough, you are loved, and your dream is still valid.

📌 Share this with a Black man who needs encouragement to keep going—especially the one who’s ready to give up on his dream.
