Episode 10 - 'Yemi Akinbulumo On How Blues Differ…

I started jotting down ideas for this last year and then forgot about it for a while.

And when I did come across the draft -whilst searching for something else! - I almost consigned it to my “never-going-to-see-the-light-of-day” folder.

I had thought perhaps it was time to move on from the topic of race.

But alas, no…because hey-ho, here we are again. With themes that remain both timeless and tiresome.

Please God, one day they won't be. Until then, here’s my 10 cents…

📖 “I planted the seeds, Apollos watered them, but God made them sprout and grow. What matters isn't those who planted or watered, but God who made the plants grow.”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭3:6-7‬ ‭CEV‬ (YouVersion)
