#4 London to Nigeria and back again, a British Black African illustrator’s journey with Dapo Adeola (DAPS).

This is the fourth episode of our ‘Celebrating non-conformist’s series’. The series intends to unpack and celebrate the thinking, philosophy, experiences and lives of as many non-conformists as Lena Robinson, founder/fixer of FTSQ, can find to interview.

Dap Adeola (DAPS) takes us on a blunt, honest journey through his life as a British Black African. From an early age he was destined to live his life, on his terms. Having left his parents behind in Nigeria at the age of four, he lived with his Aunt, in South London until 2011. Still considered the ‘black sheep’ of the family his non-conformity shows up throughout his life, and sees it as a strength he brings to his art, cartoons and more recently in his award winning children’s book illustrations. It’s an inspiring, entertaining honest story. Well worth a listen.
