Show Notes

Prepare to embark on a deeply inspiring and transformative episode of the "Militant Grind Podcast" as host Sherman Perryman engages in a profound conversation with the exceptional guest, Richard Kweku EzeAgu Akinyemi. Known as the Visceral Connections Coach (VCC) and author of the compelling book "Found My People," Eze is on a mission to reconnect the disconnected to their rich ancestral culture. In this episode, listeners will join Sherman and Eze as they explore the powerful journey of identity, heritage, and the unbreakable bonds that connect African descendants to their roots. Eze's belief in the potential for each disconnected African descendant to experience a "revelation day" that can be transformational forms the heart of their conversation. Eze's passion is to illuminate the often unseen and unknown cultural heritage within each African American, a cultural treasure that can profoundly enrich their lives. He draws a powerful analogy between the full moon's hidden dark side and the unexplored depths of African American heritage, waiting to be rediscovered. The episode delves into Eze's personal journey, which took a pivotal turn when, upon his first visit to Africa in 2013, he was told by the Igbo and Yoruba people in Nigeria that he was one of them. Subsequent DNA testing confirmed this revelation, leading Eze to legally change his name to reflect his Igbo and Yoruba heritage on his father's side, and his connection to the Fante people of Ghana on his mother's side. Sherman and Eze discuss the profound impact of finding one's roots, the legacy of slavery, and the displacement experienced by African Americans. They explore the process of adopting new cultural identities and the potential for transformation that comes with it. Join the "Militant Grind Podcast" for an episode that delves deep into the powerful journey of reconnecting with one's roots, reclaiming cultural heritage, and rediscovering a sense of identity.
