Featured episode – Unfailing Courage to Love All Things Africa Despite the Odds
In this episode, Russell speaks with Wode Maya, a popular Ghanaian YouTube personality, vlogger and aeronautical engineer.
His love for the continent of Africa came from being in an environment of toxic hate for his homeland. Disguising himself as anything but African in order to get a job, eat and survive was a necessary way of life while living in China. His desire to educate about the continent of Africa led him to see for himself the beauty in the countries. He went on a self-funded pilgrimage and captured the beauty of the continent on video. By having the courage to be himself, love himself and connect to his purpose, he has been able to maintain resilience through the obstacles he faces of building a bridge between black people worldwide.
