Sweet Potatoes,\u00a0I Am African is here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope I make you proud with this one. In 2009, I started The Verastic Show, a live online talk radio show. It was my first time hosting a talk show, and I LOVED it. I was scared on the first day because you know, it was a live radio show, and what if no one tuned in? But I did it anyway, and it was great! Not only did people tune in, but they also called in, too. I did that show for years until I had to unexpectedly retire it. I had the privilege of speaking to so many beautiful human beings through and because of that show. Since the show’s retirement, I have thought about how to revive it because it was such a happy place for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that’s how I started thinking about starting a podcast. The problems were that (1)<\/strong> I take too long thinking of executing something, and (2)<\/strong> Life threw me some curves along the way that further put my dream of a podcast on hold, and (3)<\/strong> I now knew even more what failure felt like, and I was afraid of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, here we are. I’m still afraid, but I’m doing it anyway. Last week Monday, I told you I had some exciting news<\/strong><\/a>, and this is the exciting news. The Sweet Potatoes who are subscribed already know of this podcast, and they have listened and sent their support. THANK YOU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The podcast is called I Am African (by Verastic), and without further ado, here’s the introductory episode. You probably have questions, like what is the podcast about? And what inspired the name – I Am African? Well, answers are in the introductory episode. New episodes will drop every Monday. I have also created brand new social media profiles for the show on Instagram<\/strong><\/a>, Twitter<\/strong><\/a>, and Facebook.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
