February 10, 2022 S2E12. Overcoming Doubt as a Young Creative: An Interview with Ayomide Bayowa
“I could write about racism and make it look beautiful. But it’s about you questioning yourself and asking if you’re actually part of the people promoting racism. You want to fight it, you want to go against it. You want to question yourself. That’s what I do with my poetry.”
Newly appointed poet laureate of Mississauga, Ayomide Bayowa, has written poetry ever since he was a young student in Nigeria. He currently studies theatre and drama at UTM. Stream of Tongues (Watercourse of Voices) is his first poetry book and was published in 2018. He also wrote the award-winning short film Do I Need To Remind You? in 2019 and directed short films Thus Said Zara (2020) and Home; Nowhere (2019). His short film “By The Way” will be released on February 28, 2022 at his Youtube channel. In this episode, Ayomide shares advice for young poets, discusses his relationship with Black History Month, and reads an excerpt of his poem “Adlib.”

January 13, 2022 S2E10. Are You Emotionally Intelligent?
How do you measure success? Is it by the amount of money you have in your bank account? The number of friends and family that support you? Perhaps it’s the weight of all your accomplished goals?
We all have different definitions of success, but what we often omit is how we’re able to handle our emotions. This is what psychologists like to call “emotional intelligence.”
In this episode, University of Toronto Mississauga ICCIT professor Tracey Bowen sits down with The Medium’s Features Editor, Ricardo Jaroslav Valdes, to discuss how emotional intelligence can help us achieve great things in our personal and professional lives.
Special thanks to Lou-Anne Carsault, Nik Towsey, Rene Post, Sam Huson, and Stephen Chupil for sharing how they measure success.
