In the last few months leading up to my daughter’s birth, I began a podcast project.
I had a few intentions with this project.
I wanted her to have a set of recordings that could serve as a time capsule of what life was like just as she was arriving. And for her to begin life already surrounded by a community who was invested in her.
In the end, I interviewed over 20 people for this project.
I began these recordings in the late summer of 2019.
Little did I know what was awaiting all of us just around the corner.
As I’ve been relistening to these recordings I have found deep meaning in each conversation, and I hope you will appreciate them too.
That is why we are starting the 2022 season of THE Celebration podcast by sharing a newly edited edition of these interviews.
The series is entitled: Gifts For You.
It will span 13 episodes in total.
This week we bring you our first episode of the series; a conversation between myself and my wife Adaora.
It was recorded 1 day before our daughter arrived into this world, and 22 days before the world changed profoundly.
I hope you enjoy it.
