Delicious Ingredients
- My twin brother Billy and I are close pals. In spite of our fear of our angry father, we each wish he would shine his love light on us. The arrival of an adorable baby sister does not help our cause.
- Darius Kokou Agbeko Dzaduwas an asylum seeker and refugee in Hong Kong for many years, he is now married to his lovely wife and has residency and is finally able to work. He is an activist helping raise awareness of the plight of refugees in Hong Kong who struggle with equality and justice. He hopes to improve the living and working conditions of those living in marginalised communities, especially refugees and ethnic minorities, many of whom are his friends. Darius has done a TEDx talk and speaks at many conferences and events globally. Darius is from Togo and he did not speak Chinese or English when he arrived. He landed in China and then moved Hong Kong as an asylum seeker and applied for refugee status. He explains how the government support refugees in Hong Kong, but it is unfortunately not enough financial support for people to survive and they must rely on NGO’s to help them. Darius shares what it was like to feel like he had nothing to offer to people he met and how he was often sidelined when people discovered that he was a refugee. He volunteered his time to try and make his life more meaningful and make a difference, given that he was not able to work in Hong Kong. He helps lead Global Youth Connect, a group that brings together ethnic minorities and mainland youth, he plays football, music and joined a local theatre group. He wants to do what he can to help his friends who are struggling as refugees and he reminds us that taking the time to connect with people by providing friendship is one of the most meaningful gestures that anyone can do for a refuge or asylum seeker.

- I’m so grateful that you’ll be joining me in this space! This podcast has been lovingly designed to connect each of us to our individual and collective awakening by way of storytelling. In these first 6 episodes you’ll be introduced to my personal journey and the stories I carry within me. Join me in the story of the Chick-Fil-A aftermath. This episode calls in to question what right response is and what constitutes as fair and just. What happened to my family and myself after facing the harsh consequences of online shaming? What shadow aspects of myself did I still need to heal? How dark can it get for an individual drowning in shame? How do our personal judgments and fears contribute to the sickness of society? Do we believe in second chances? Do we create space for individuals to make mistakes and experience growth from those mistakes? How can we foster love instead of hate? These are the questions brought to light in this story because I know I’m not alone in this time of social media and online shaming. My inner work has brought me to a place, a place that knows sharing our stories can heal us.
