According to the internet, pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America. I'm a recent convert and it's become my favorite hobby. And it seems like everyone I play with is also a recent convert obssessed with their new favorite hobby, so for once, the internet might be right.  But what the heck is pickleball? Why does it rely so heavily on puns? Why is taking over the [basketball court or tennis court] at this [gym or park] you frequent? Check out this episode with Brandon Nsekpong for a rundown on pickleball, his journey from table tennis to basketball to pro pickleball, and what it would take for me to be his doubles partner at a tournament [hint: nothing short of a miracle]!

Pickleball After Dark: Brandon Nsekpong

"Leverage the negative. Embrace the positive." - Brandon NsekpongThis past March I took a trip to Washington DC for my film screening of The Diaspora Journal. In between meetings, press interviews and work, I had the opportunity to sit down with my friend Yordy to catch up and grab a bite to eat at one of my favorite spots in town, Nandos. Five stars all day. #FactsWe shared funny stories of recent experiences, talked about faith, our life journey and different ideas we would like to see come into fruition in the near future. He mentioned a new potential project that peaked my interest called, “Africa In US.” As soon as he explained the concept, I just knew that we had to launch this together and see what God can do through a project that highlights inspiring stories of representation.Fast forward to today. I am absolutely thrilled to announce the first “Africa In US” episode featuring my good friend, Brandon Nsekpong.Brandon is an App developer and entrepreneur living in Austin, TXA few years ago, Brandon founded and created Modobuddy.A mobile app that connects motorcycle riders with each other. He inspires me and I hope this conversation does the same for you.I sat down with Brandon to explore his story. We discussed how the power of perspective played a role with creating and launching his first international app on itunes. It is not easy going through life's challenges when filled with discouragement. Brandon shared the importance of leveraging the negative and embracing the positive. Our moments of challenges should not merely be tolerated, but leveraged in a way for us to seek the good in everything. Whether it's a lesson or personal growth opportunity, there is something valuable in every situation depending on how we see and approach the problem.Some of our other conversations covered are experiences of being raised by immigrant parents, finding meaningful work by building community and how a viral marriage proposal got him invited to the Ellen DeGeneres show. Enjoy!
