What It’s Like Being Nigerian But Never Growing Up in Nigeria | Mindscapes ft. Sam (Juju People)

On this episode of Mindscapes, host Muhammad Umar sits down with artist Sam, creator of the YouTube channel Juju People, for a conversation about identity shaped by distance. Sam is Nigerian, but Nigeria isn’t where he grew up. From Russia to other corners of the world far from home, Sam’s childhood was a patchwork of cultures, languages, and ideas of belonging. In this episode, we get into what it means to carry a Nigerian identity without the daily texture of Nigerian life the things that got lost, the things that got reshaped, and the things that became entirely their own. We talk about:     •    Growing up Nigerian in Russia and beyond     •    How distance changes (and doesn’t change) identity     •    Sam’s journey into art and building Juju People     •    Belonging, memory, and making a home out of “in-between” Check out Sam’s channel, Juju People, here:    • КОНЦЕРТЫ КАНЬЕ / UFC: БЕЛЫЙ ДОМ / НИКС ЧЕМ...   New episodes of Mindscapes drop every other week Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don’t miss the next conversation #Mindscapes #JujuPeople #nigeriandiaspora #podcast
