Ubuntu Peoples Podcast, Ep #62--Dasan Ahanu: The Fellowship of The Artist (Part 2 of 2)

In part 2 of our conversation, I use Dasan's poem "Brown Bottle Daddy" to explore his relationship with his father, his relationship with his craft and the spaces where art converges with his life today. Dasan Ahanu is a public speaker, organizer, workshop facilitator, poet, spoken word performer, educator, songwriter, writer, emcee, and loyal Hip Hop head born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina. Dasan is a member of Black Jedi Zulu, a non-profit community organization that seeks to serve the community while also fostering greater cultural awareness of Hip Hop. He was awarded a 2015-2016 Nasir Jones Fellowship with the Hip Hop Archive at Harvard University’s Hutchins Center for African & African American Research. Currently Dasan is a visiting professor at UNC Chapel Hill teaching courses on Hip Hop and Black culture.
