In this episode Nicole Thomas welcomes award-winning Nigerian-born expressionist painter Doba Afolabi, whose vibrant work celebrates Yoruba culture, movement, and storytelling. From drawing with charcoal in his mother's kitchen in southwest Nigeria to exhibiting his work in galleries, art fairs, and private collections around the world, Doba shares an inspiring journey of resilience, faith, and artistic purpose.
Together, Nicole and Doba explore the experiences that have shaped his creative voice, including immigration, mentorship, community, and the importance of staying true to your vision. Doba also honors the late Danny Simmons, whose encouragement and belief in his work helped shape his artistic journey.
