Welcome to Beyond Your Hood!

We’re Michael and Dotun, co-founders of this movement and today, we’re taking it back to where it all started. We share our “come-up” stories, the struggles we faced growing up, and the life-changing moments that shaped us.

For us, the ‘hood’ isn’t just a place—it’s an experience. But how do you think beyond it? How do you break cycles and create new paths? We open up about our own journeys and the mindset shifts that helped us navigate them.

These experiences led us to create Beyond Your Hood—a platform that empowers and inspires underserved talent. We’re just getting started; the future is big!

In this episode of Beyond Your Hood, the guys are joined in the studio by Kieran, a successful content creator and university student. They discuss Kieran's journey from school to becoming a TikTok sensation, the challenges he faced growing up, and his academic achievements.

The conversation delves into the importance of mentorship through Kieran's initiative, Uni5, and the balance between work and study during his placement at Jaguar Land Rover. Kieran shares insights on navigating brand deals and the motivation behind his content creation, emphasising the significance of using one's experiences to inspire others.
