In this episode, we sit down with Iyare Igiehon, founder of S.O.U.L. Fest and a true pioneer in Black media. From hosting one of the first shows on BBC 1Xtra to creating platforms that amplify Black voices, Iyare talks about his journey through the industry—the challenges, the wins, and everything in between. We get into what it’s like being a Black creative today, the evolution of Black media and music, and why sometimes you have to “build your own table” when doors aren’t open.
