Former professional hockey player Akim Aliu is telling his life story in a new graphic memoir called Dreamer, which follows his journey from Nigeria to Ukraine to Canada – right up to the NHL. He joins Piya Chattopadhyay to talk about why he's opening up to a younger generation about how hazing and racism impacted his career, and why he says the game’s future depends on meaningful action towards inclusivity and accessibility for people from all walks of life.
