    What a year 2022 was, we have had the good, the bad, and the fantastic. To wrap up the year 2022 and officially come out of hibernation, I decided to have some of my New York/East Coast podcasters and friends join me to wrap up the year. We talked about Politics, Books, Music, Cultural Moments, Movies/Shows and everything in between that went down in 2022 from our perspective. It's a relaxed and informal atmosphere, with a bunch of like-minded folks just hanging out and having fun. You're invited to join in on the fun and hear what we had to say.

    Yes, yours truly is this week's guest. Not only is Ashwin Gopi back in the studio, but he also took over hosting duties in order for me to appear as the guest. It was fun to be the guest and I'll be a guest again when I live-stream the 3rd year anniversary episode this Saturday. This conversation was the official beginning of the 3rd year anniversary celebration. I was expecting Ashwin to hit me with neighborhood questions, however, Ashwin said nah, and hit me with more amazing questions.

    Rudolf Ogoo Okonkwo is an adjunct professor at the School of Visual Arts in NYC teaching Post-Colonial African History, and a columnist at the Peoples Gazette. Rudolf has authored multiple books that include "This American Life Sef", "Children of a Retired God" & "Chimamanda" amongst many others. Rudolf is also the host of Dr. Damages, a political satirical show covering the African political space and holding officials accountable (most in Nigeria). Yes, Rudolf Ogoo Okonkwo = Dr. Damages.   Rudolf shares powerful stories about the Igbo culture that he is from, beginning with his name. Why his father may have decided to name Rudolf gets tackled, to sacred animals and why they have become scarce or possibly extinct in his hometown. The main thing for me was reincarnation, I had heard of it being talked about in an unserious manner across different ethnic groups but never before had I been face to face with someone who is incarnate of their grandfather. That experience of having to go through a funeral for the burial of the person for whom you are supposed to be his/her reincarnation. It's like attending your own funeral.   Rudolf breaks down the birth of his pen name Dr. Damages, how many tables he shook, escaping from IBB (former military dictator of Nigeria), arriving in the United States, meeting and marrying his wife. Did you know that Rudolf was in a band? This is one episode that you don't want to miss out on and will definitely have a Part II sometime next year.   Make sure that you download the White Label American Podcast App, available at the Google Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hr.apps.n245148 Watch Rudolf's weekly show and more by subscribing to https://www.youtube.com/c/DrDamages/featured https://twitter.com/DrDamages   As always feel free to send your feedback at https://www.whitelabelamerican.com/contact/   Support our work here https://www.patreon.com/whitelabelamericanpod  

    It Was Interesting Being A Child Of Immigrants In Houston ft Houston Bred

    Who was Houston Bred before becoming a YouTube and Patreon content creator? This is an introduction to the origins of one awesome creator that you would love to know. Houston Bred has some of the most unique name meanings amongst guests to have been on this podcast. Eventually, a college athlete, who never got carried away by her love for playing sports to the point where she wouldn't identify with her roots or her people. Taking the time to engage with communities around her, would open the doors of understanding to the dualities of being a Black American and an immigrant at the same time.   Houston Bred shared great advice for future content creators aiming to go on YouTube. I am telling you, don't sleep on this sister. We talked about music (has anyone been able to beat the podcast rules in this manner before?), some funny food talk, and a great discussion about different Black communities around the United States. It is good to have people such as Houston in the content space.   Judge Judy got to make her debut on the show via an honorable mention, opening another trip down memory lane for yours truly. A lot was covered in what may be quite a heavy-packed episode. Of course, we had plenty of laughs, I mean Judge Judy hello. Unconventional TV will never die, just try not to be the brand new me in America. Although, I shall secretly watch the 1st episode of my show when it's made and put on Bravo Network (hopefully produced by Houston Bred). This episode also makes me hungry for some Suya!   Time Stamps: Call to Action 0:00 - 02:31, Intro 02:41 - 03:14, Name Meaning 03:46 - 04:30, Part of Houston 7:16 - 08:05, Childhood 09:34 - 10:33, Favorite Sports Played 10:41 - 11:19, Favorite Childhood Memory 12:01 - 13:21, Teenage Career Dreams 17:28 - 20:06, Hobbies As An Adult 20:15 - 24:32, College 24:44 - 26:49, College Experience 29:00 - 30:45, Intermission 35:00 - 36:19, Coming Out of College 36:42 - 38:04, Embracing Content Creating 41:55 - 44:10, Advice to Newcomers 51:11 - 54:37, Biggest 57:37 - 01:00:18, Music 01:07:26 - 01:10:51, Cuisine 01:11:23 - 01:14:55, Final Q 01:17:55 - 01:18:42, Plugins 01:18:50 - 01:19:31, Outro   Tune in for more of Houston Bred, catch her live Tue-Fri 9:30 am EST https://www.youtube.com/c/houstonbred   Support our work, buy us a cup of Ko-Fi - https://ko-fi.com/whitelabelamerican   Become a Patron - https://www.patreon.com/whitelabelamericanpod   Buy our Merch - https://vetclothing.com/collections/sponser-merch   Feedback (Audio or Written) - https://www.whitelabelamerican.com/contact/  

    The Only Way That I'm Going To Heaven Is Via Spousal Visa ft Brian Laung Aoaeh, CFA

    Supply chain tech and VC specialist Brian Laung Aoaeh, CFA returns for his long-awaited sequel to the laugh-filled first episode. So although we did get serious a few times while discussing the pandemic, laughter was never far behind as it is and will always be a part of our stories.   First, we began with confirmation that I was not late to this recording unlike our first recording when all my ancestors, ex-girlfriends, and village people combined to make me late at a record time to my own recording. Such has never repeated itself again, still baffles me to this day.   Brian touched on how he and his co-founder Lisa, became a team with their shared interest in the supply chain. Brian would give us more insight into how they were willing to put the supply chain community that they had built to work and save as many lives as possible earlier in the pandemic to no avail.   We dived into the West African and by extension African space when it comes to embracing the supply chain (none of us can survive without it). How just by doing the basics of upgrading our infrastructure would be more than beneficial to the host countries, it would be great for neighboring ones too as the supply chain is an economic multiplier if you just get the basics right. Brian also shared how his journey into fatherhood has been going, his culinary tastes haven't reduced, nor has his taste in music. There's a lot more to Brian and I highly recommend that you check out Brian's first appearance on White Label American (Titled "What is Death"). I hope to have him back again as we have so much to talk about. Make sure to check out Brian's article on Freightwave from 2020 on modernizing Africa's logistics capacity (link below).

Since that fateful day in October, I began following Angela Fobbs and Adrianne George the Co-hosts of the Black Women in Europe podcast.  The Black Women in Europe podcast was born from the multi-award-winning blog of the same title that has been in the running for fifteen years. Be you a Black immigrant or an indigenous (especially woman) in Europe, the Black Women in Europe blog has great resources and connections for your network. The second season of the podcast kicks off right after this episode drops. Link below! Before blogging and podcasting, Angela and Adrianne both began life in different parts of America. One in a boring town, the other in an exciting place. Each woman's dream as a teenager also pointed to a different path but the universe always courses correct and thus began their adventure overseas. This conversation has unisex names, gangs, and colors, beautiful love stories, laughs, and so much was learned. Most importantly, get out and vote, we cannot afford to let the Fascists win. Climate change can be solved if we vote for the right people, so Vote in November!

Zou's arrival in NYC is one of the most legendary “Welcome To New York” stories that we have had on the podcast, mine.  know that mine. However, before he came to the United States, Zou lived in one of the most beautiful and historic places on earth.
