Welcome to Creatively Opposed, a podcast where we hear real life stories from first generation creatives about their journeys.
I am your host Teneka King, and in today’s episode I am joined by Olu Gbenga Obafemi. He is a multidisciplinary creative, who works in music, film, production and more.
In this episode we talk about the struggle—and power—of refusing to fit into a single box. From music to filmmaking to creative direction, Olu has built a career embracing every aspect of his artistry, despite the pressure to choose just one path.
We dive into how he navigated expectations, overcame doubts, and found confidence in his multifaceted identity. If you’ve ever felt like you had to pick one passion or justify your creative pursuits, this episode is for you.
Tune in as we explore what it means to own your creative gifts, break free from rigid labels, and redefine success on your own terms.
