À propos de cet audio
In this episode of Odejuma, Harry chats with Ghanaian-born actor Anthony Adu for a deeply reflective conversation about identity, queerness, and the power of storytelling. Anthony shares his experiences, from his early days in Ghana to building a life in the U.S. He opens up about navigating family expectations, cultural displacement, his career as an actor, and the emotional journey of embracing his truth as a queer African man.
Using his role in the world premiere of "When We Are Found," he discusses how performance can serve as a vessel for personal revelation and collective memory. Together, they explore the importance of authentic representation in the arts, the solidarity found within the Black diaspora, and why sharing our stories — raw, joyful, and complicated — is an act of resistance and love.
For anyone who believes in the transformative power of storytelling, this episode serves as a heartfelt reminder that our voices matter and that queerness and Africanness can coexist beautifully.
