<p>Yusuf Omar is not just an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Seen.tv — he’s also a dear friend.

We also get into identity, racism, and the guts it takes to challenge narratives with your platform.</p><p>Check out Yusuf here:</p><p>Seen.tv: https://www.seen.tv/</p><p>Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/yusufomar/?hl=en</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me know what part hit you the most.
