#12: North Heaven
Episode Summary
In Episode #12 Kaiwann King is our first and much welcomed guest for the new season. In this show, North Heaven, Popa and Jef talk about their recent times from first meeting in Watts to having a community weekend in the Sierra mountains. Gradually they find their way toward two great passages in Popa’s life that he wanted to share on the show. The first one happened after school one May day when Popa was in third grade. On that fateful afternoon, Popa had an accident that changed him forever. Overtime, he came to believe the power of “the man above” is what gave him the strength to overcome and adapt to his physical and situational hardships. This show is the first time Popa has ever shared his profoundly personal story.
The second passage Popa shares is one that is happening right now. Just 17 years young and Senior in high school with a great love for basketball, Popa is taking hold of his future in a creative way by blending his vision for a postive social message for the urban realities and deep gratitude and faith in Jesus into a vibrant clothing brand. North Heaven Clothing Brand seeks to resonate with a hip and spirited approach to life, offering a values based message in the complex conditions to inner-city life. In his ambition and courage we can see how Popa is setting up his many tomorrows in extremely admirable way.
North Heaven, the show, is a chance to hear from a brave heart and patient soul rising from great adversities to claim something that’s both chill and profound at once.
