White Label American

There is something about this episode's guest that when you come in contact with him, your life is never the same. He changes it for good. That's one of the reasons why I had to get Jean C Romulus on the podcast. Jean brings his journey through life leading into both the private and non-profit sectors to educate us on some cuisine (please do not listen on an empty stomach), history, his unique name, and amazing stories. Kicking off in Brooklyn, we head to the Caribbean, and West Africa.

Jean is one of the people making a significant impact on the part of the world that many tend to overlook. In collaboration with his team at Heal-Haiti and with the support from partners such as MADRE, Haitian Women's Collective, and Haitians in Diaspora, Jean has been able to touch the lives of people across the country.

Yes, Bring Back City 101.9!

It's a pleasure to have the award-winning surgeon, teacher, futurist, innovator, entrepreneur, and evangelist about augmented and virtual reality Professor Shafi Ahmed bless us with knowledge about his life plus medicine, and technology.

Shafi takes us from his childhood into his motivations for going into medicine, disrupting, embrace of technology, and futurism. I love the stories that he shares, and be sure to check out Shafi's Tedx Talks for more. I couldn't help myself but geek out a lot in this episode.

Dr. Rafael Grossmann is an explorer, a discoverer of new things, a disruptor in the medical space, and a big believer in technology. Rafael is also the first surgeon to perform a surgery wearing a Google glass. Rafa takes us through his beginnings, his first surgery, why there's hope even in the face of automation. Rafael addresses why being a disruptor does not have to be negative and is essential when it comes to life. He also touches on indigenous people and technology, a critical point.

Technology is a tool that's more helpful than harmful. It's up to how we apply its use; that's the problem. Healthcare should focus more on preventive than cure while embracing technology 

Be sure to check out Rafael's Tedx talks and articles on his website while following his social media for more gems

In honor of Pride Month, I decided to re-release episode 29 with aspiring artist, author, and songwriter Joy Chukwudi. Back during the recording, Joy had mentioned her book, The Crown of Newearth, that she had written, but due to circumstances, it wasn't on the shelf. The good news is that her book is now available on Amazon, so feel free to check out the link below and support it.

Black Lives Matter, Black Trans Lives Matter, Black Women Matter!!!

We continue our chat with Desi Shedrick, CEO of VET Clothing, in Tokyo. Desi dives right away into music (Hip-Hop) from Texas, Hawaii, & Japan. There's no way we are going to visit Hawaii and Japan without spending time on food. 

Desi also lets us in on his journey into embracing his entrepreneurial spirit. Desi also does acting, appearing in a promo for Rise of The Planet of Ape, Hawaii-5.0, Japanese commercials amongst many. We also get the story behind VET Clothing.

Also, check out The Black Experience Japan on YouTube

This interview covered so much that it's broken into two parts for your enjoyment. Here is Part I. 

Desi Shedrick is a United States Marine who I came across while watching The Black Experience Japan on YouTube. His story begins in the great state of Texas and takes us across the Southern Border, and introduces us to his life-changing experience in Hawaii and his first visit to Japan. The lessons that created the man who today makes me look good in his clothing outfit VET Clothing. Along with being an entrepreneur, Desi also models, is an actor, and has taught English in Japanese schools.

Come back for Part II next week!

I was lucky to have caught a Forbes article talking about Birthright Africa, as soon as I finished reading it I knew that I wanted to have Walla Elsheihk on the podcast. It did not take long after I reached out that I got feedback. Walla responded, setting up the interview, which unfortunately got postponed due to the lockdown. In the end, everything worked out, and I am glad that I did not listen to my insecurity and reached out. I enjoyed every minute of this recording.

Walla takes us on her journey before arriving in NY and her awakening, resulting in the birth of Birthright Africa. An organization that is about building connectivity, community, and leadership in the African American youth through educating and travel to the continent of Africa. Walla has excelled in the public and private sectors.
