In this episode of The Quiet Truth, Martin and his co-host dive deep into the layered question of identity. From growing up between Nigeria, Europe, and the U.S., to reconciling African heritage with Black American culture, they explore how lineage, history, and personal experiences shape who we believe we are.

The conversation uncovers the sacrifices of immigrant parents—like leaving home to secure a future in America—and how those choices impact generations. They reflect on the tension between perception and reality, the struggles of imposter syndrome, and the grounding power of faith and family.

This is a raw, vulnerable dialogue about what it means to belong, how culture and history both empower and complicate identity, and why finding peace in who you are is the ultimate superpower.
