    Life has a way of dealing us different cards. But when we find individuals who push themselves in order to turn the tables, we find their stories inspiring.

  • GOOD NIGHT ABDULRAHMAN IBRAHIM

    Abdulrahman Ibrahim was the third guest I had on the interview segment of This is the Future. Sadly, on Friday, I learnt that he passed on. 

    More than a guest on this podcast, he was a friend and at some point, we did business together. It is shocking, it is unbelievable. 

    As a form of tribute, Queen Raffy (another podcaster) and I recorded this tribute to his honour. Good night Ibrahim.
