EPISODE 1: "THE START"

On the first of African Connection I sit down with my good friend Benji Nwokeabia. We both attended Iona and officially met our senior year college. Benji has a very interesting story coming from an international background and living in the states while his parents are back in Switzerland. We discuss his path to Iona and making it on the basketball team and even playing in the prestigious March Madness Tournament. We go in-depth on Africa as musicians, culture, and identity are discussed in an uplifting way. This conversation will extend and take on a life of its own into another podcast that we will collaborate on in the future. ENJOY!!!
