In this episode of Odejuma, Harry chats with Nigerian-American multidisciplinary artist Mark Odumuyiwa on art, identity, and how that influences his work. From his early love for fashion design to his fluid transition into photography and filmmaking, Mark reflects on how creativity often grows out of curiosity, necessity, and deep cultural roots. The conversation touches on the emotional power of storytelling, the influence of religion and heritage on his work, and the collaborative energy shaping the Twin Cities’ blossoming creative scene.

Mark also shares the inspiration behind Something to Say, a magazine he launched to spotlight emerging local artists. Throughout the episode, listeners are invited to consider how our lived experiences shape the stories we tell, and how, in sharing them, we not only express ourselves but build community.
