For artists, finding an outlet for expression that feels authentic to their being isn't taken for granted. For Shvka, music has been that outlet for, not just creativity, but self realization. In Shvka's story: a narrative of radical expression and becoming, we explore how his upbringing had an influence on his progression as an artist.

Culture - Episode 2:

In this episode, I explore an identity crisis that I had after attending a West African dance class taught by an American women. As a West African woman, I never had to question my identity given that I know exactly where my family comes from, I am very much aware of our cultural practices, I eat the food, I understand my language, Yoruba, and I primarily consume Nigerian media. Regardless of all this, I start to grapple with whether it would be futile for members of the diaspora to attempt to preserve our respective cultures.

Culture - Episode 1:

The question posed is as follows: what is your relationship with culture? This episode explores culture from the perspectives of those with varying backgrounds and cultural upbringings. While some have an innate love for their cultural identity, the journey towards self-acceptance is not as easy for others.
