#18 True Say With Tijan Sallah aka Kingpin. Finding Strength While Dealing With Separation and Loss
In this episode, Cherno and Tijan engage in a heartfelt conversation.
Tijan is a hip-hop artist and cultural advocate, actively supporting community access to art and culture through his role at the Arts Council, with a focus on the Point Black Music School.
He opens up about his upbringing in a challenging environment in North London, growing up in a single-parent household on a council estate, surrounded by crime and economic difficulties. He shares the impact of his father's absence.
As the conversation deepens, Tijan reflects on how music became a therapeutic outlet for him, allowing him to express his emotions and find solace. Tijan also discusses the transformative impact of a trip to Gambia, reconnecting with his father's family and heritage, and finding closure as he witnessed his father's passing.
The discussion delves into Tijan's challenges as a father separated from his son and reveals how he copes with these difficulties, incorporating practices like meditation, visualization, physical exercise.
Tijan's narrative is a testament to the human spirit's capacity to overcome and find meaning in life's trials.
