Chols Journey

By Chola Tshilanga

It dawned on me that the foundation of everything WE ARE and aspire TO BE is knowing our identity. We can not push and motivate a society of young people who have no clue of their own identity. FIX that and WE will create a generational path of leaders who know who THEY ARE. This podcast is hosted by Chola Tshilanga who embarks on a journey to discover identity, the power it has, the change it can bring, and how you as youth can use it to your advantage. Educating and empowering myself and you with the journeys of authentic artists, creatives, musicians, entrepreneurs, authors, & more.

How To Make Purposeful Friends

How To Make Purposeful Friends

Partnering with God, everything looks different for a believer and this includes who you allow in your life. The friendship and relationships you have can either build the person you need to be and keep you focus on your destiny or distract you from your purpose. When making friends there are a few elements to consider or look into and I share a few of my own. I also share how this topic came about! A Must Listen!! Enjoy!

The Truth About Being An Adult

The Truth About Being An Adult

In this episode I share our many mental struggles, the truth about growing up and how difficult it is to articulate it to others or even ourselves at times. I share Adel songs Go Easy On Me, a track that moved the world and also why it was so relatable. I expose the reality of living with mental health within a African home and how overlooked it is featuring Kwesewa Emmanuel. I also touch on the most recent...death of Riky Rick and how not everything that looks like is going great is truly going great. But most importantly, I share light and hope in all the darkness we face, experience, and have seen in our lifetime. This is my birthday gift to you and I hope you find peace and a home here, as we start this new journey together!

Breaking News but Not Broken|| Locked Identity

Breaking News but Not Broken|| Locked Identity

Many lives are attached to generational curses and many things they have attached your name to. Somewhere in our lives, we have been told "you will never be/do..." Based on the color of our skin, background, community and how does one redefine themselves? Battle out of what they have come to know as "normal"? Can one's path change? I touch on all these and more in this episode and I hope it makes your journey more clear because we still have a long trip but best believe that this step, knowing and understanding your identity will change you for the rest of your life!
