Words of wisdom from Sho Baraka on the Addy Hour podcast #vocation #calling #meaninginwork #cultivating

Join in for a deeply honest and candid conversation with recording artist, speaker, professor and writer, Sho Baraka. We waste no time, diving quickly into personal discussions about emotional wellness and mental health. We consider ways to normalize mental health conversations to positively impact our lives and society. Intertwined with these topics, we consider the imprint of hip-hop culture, the impact of social media, and the powerful role of faith. On a practical level, Sho shares four key ways each of us can effectively pursue our calling. Refreshingly, he provides this guidance, even while acknowledging his own successes and challenges pursuing his vocational calling. As a man of many talents and interests, he goes even further to describe the ways he feels like a “vocational nomad” at times. We also reflect on what it means to engage and care for our local and global community. In the scope of community, we discuss neurodiversity and inclusivity, as Sho shares his perspective as the father of two sons living on the autism spectrum. A wide ranging, timely and important conversation! For more helpful information on neurodiversity, accessibility and inclusivity, please visit www.kulturecity.org
