This week's guest is Rodney Omeokachie, a renowned Photographer (featured in Vogue Magazine), a Brand Strategist, and the host of one of my favorite podcasts; The Young God.
Rodney (named after the legendary Rodney King) was born to stand out. Literally. Born in South Korea and later moving to South Africa much later, he grew up the only black person in most spaces.
He had an affinity for drawing and visual art from a young age, but it was not encouraged because it was not considered real. Determined to make his way, Rodney stood his ground and stuck to his ideals and principles.
Rodney's story is fascinating, hilarious, and inspiring. Tune in to find out why! ENJOY π
