On Nigeria to America, Curiosity Paths & The Courage to Have a Soft Heart with Oluwatobiloba Olofintuyi

On Nigeria to America, Curiosity Paths & The Courage to Have a Soft Heart with Oluwatobiloba Olofintuyi

In this episode with my friend Tobi, he shares his experience immigrating from Nigeria to the States at the age of 10. He even plays the talking drum for us as he explains its relation to the Yoruba language. Tobi opens up about his journey to find his place in a new culture and some of the moments he came head-to-head with the nuisances of what it means to be Black in America. This conversation is filled with so much wisdom from Tobi's lived experience, as he takes us into his curious mind and how he continues to follow his curiosities which more than often lead him to purpose. He talks about being an extrovert, starting a career in tech, friendship and finding the courage to keep a soft heart. This episode is for everyone because we are all seeking a purpose-driven life.
