ReplyThat’s really cool sort of makes me feel old such as that when I was growing up we used to watch Shaka Zulu like Marathon every night or something. I don’t know what part of Africa that is or whatever that show was based in but I’ve always wanted to go and just see what it’s like because I worked with a lot of people from Ghana and they have always been so nice. So he’s saying maybe you know the grass isn’t greener on the other side or whatever thought-provoking interview
ReplyWhat a warm, inspiring, beautiful human this man is. Aside from the main focus of the interview i.e book, movie, music, the words he found to explain trying to find who you are when you are pulled by your own identity into “who am I”. I have never lived in another country but the one I was born into ( thru choice), but the why he communicated the struggle allowed the none experienced an incite that captivated.
