𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚


Alicia Munian has been on an intense spiritual journey her entire life. Since she was younger, she could remember always being in tune with the world on a deeper level. She always had a wonderment for the stars and celestial bodies in the sky. From an early age, she experienced intense Lucid Dreams, where she was consciously in control of her vivid dreams. This made her contemplate the world in a deeper way, awakening her mind further to the different possibilities of reality.

As she got older, she had several profound experiences that put her in touch with the spirit realm in a deeper way, including seeing apparitions and predicting her own dog's passing. At the time she did not understand these experiences, but now she is able to understand and has comforted others who have had similar experiences.

After dealing with traumas during her teenage years, including having a parent battling cancer, by the time Alicia was in college, she developed severe depression. It is often during our darkest times that we truly awaken the light within. Alicia decided that she was going to heal herself, and put herself on a profound journey of healing and awakening.

Alicia started to learn more about meditation and started to teach herself this ancient practice as a way of healing. While she was learning, she had the opportunity to visit Thailand, where she met a Buddhist Monk that had an incredible impact on her. She continued to deepen her practice of healing. After she graduated from college, she began to study Metaphysics & Esoteric Knowledge through numerous renowned teachers in Long Island covering topics including Mediumship, Angel Card Readings, Healing Meditations, Reiki Energy Healing, Akashic Record Readings, and Channeling.

He is the founder of Ife the Baker Confectionery, which produces baked goods that meet international standards for special dietary needs. Through his platform, Mr Osuntuyi trains, educates, and raises awareness about food allergies, providing safer and healthier options for children and adults with special preferences and needs. As a conference speaker, Mr Osuntuyi shares his expertise in human nutrition, medicine's role in health, and achieving optimal health through a healthy diet. He has attended several courses on entrepreneurship, business leadership, and emotional intelligence. Apart from his professional engagements, Mr Osuntuyi volunteers in youth development at his church and enjoys nature. He is married to Adedolapo, a social entrepreneur and child advocate, and they are blessed with two beautiful children.

Learn the business of your talent with Jeremiah Ukponrefe

Learn the business of your talent with Jeremiah Ukponrefe

As a creative professional, it's crucial to have a good understanding of  the business aspects of your craft. This way, you can avoid working  with individuals who may seem qualified but lack the expertise to  support your goals. Investing in learning the business of your talent,  particularly in the early stages of your career, can pay off  significantly.  

On this week's episode, we're excited to have a guest who will share his  journey to becoming an author and stand-up comedian. Join us for a fun  and laid-back conversation, where we hope to make you laugh and enjoy  your time. 

About Jeremiah  

Jeremiah Ukponrefe is a Toronto-based author and stand-up comedian. He  has written articles for The Runner, The Reel Anna, and Envie Magazine.  His debut novel Hive was released in March 2021, the first of The Arcane  Volumes Series.  As a comedian, his style is a mixture of clever  observations with subversive darkness, all performed under a veil of  innocence. He's performed at the Island Fringe Festival, Guelf Fringe  Festival, and Victoria Fringe Festival.

He is the founder of the comedy  production company Punching Sideways Productions. He is really hoping  this comedy thing works out.  


About his book - HIVE   

The Collective military has spent its years destroying the last remnants  of The Hive, an alien force which devastated the old world, bringing  forth the apocalypse, and ushering in a new age of warring factions.   Alexander King is a Collective soldier who during a mission monitoring  the outskirts of Zone 6, discovers evidence that The Hive's presence is  stronger than commonly believed. 

With his new information, it becomes  vital that the Collective acts fast, for if they don't the world will be  brought to its knees again in a second wave of destruction that will  end humanity forever.   Astonishing, complex, and character-driven. Hive is the first in The  Arcane Volumes. A saga that will leave you begging for more.

How a shy guy like me became a well-renowned speaker

How a shy guy like me became a well-renowned speaker

Shyness can be a thief of Joy, Purpose and fulfilment, yet, there are  exceptions. And this happens when your passion and purpose are more prominent than any shyness you can ever have. This is the case with my  guest on the show today.  David was an extremely shy and timid young man. Still, when purpose called in the form of speaking and training others to speak and to lead exceptionally, his shyness took the back bench and he showed forth his oratory excellence to the awe of his audience.   


About David O. Lawal  

 David O. Lawal is a graduate of Biochemistry from The Federal University  of Technology, Akure (FUTA). He is a thinker and an award-winning writer, conference speaker and leadership coach. David is a co-founder of KIST! and the founder of Friendship Leadership  Institute, an organisation which powers his conferences, seminars and training programmes such as the International Masterful Speakers  Masterclass (an international masterclass where David and other speakers and trainers from the UK, USA, Canada, S/Africa, Cameroon, Ghana and  Nigeria train professionals and corporate executives—from around the continent—to become certified orators and efficient leaders through the mastery of precise and powerful communication skills). 


David is the winner of the prestigious IDW Essay Contest (2016) and has won several leadership awards. David consults for businesses and corporate organisations. He is a favourite resource person for government establishments like the National Library of Nigeria and the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). He is the serving Public Relations Officer for over 200 facilitators of the NYSC  Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development programme in Oyo  State, Nigeria.


As one of the fastest-rising and highly sought-after  professional conference speakers in Africa, David has enjoyed the tremendous privilege of addressing an audience of about 30,000 people in one sitting (with almost a million listeners connected over the satellite and social media all over the world). He has trained over 2000  leaders and speakers. David enjoys spending time with his certified masterful speakers in the Global Masterful Speakers Network, training them, cheering them, providing honest and helpful answers to their burning questions, creating speaking platforms for them, promoting their personal brands and celebrating their wins.

My guest on the show today is Gift Preye Solomon a.k.a GPS. She is a  Nigerian living and doing business in Dubai. Currently a travel consultant. She started off with no job in the UAE and had to exit twice before she finally got a job as a call centre agent. She grew in her career over the years to become a supervisor.   

An opportunity came for her to be a delivery rider and she jumped on it.  Unknown to her that this would make her a record breaker as the first and only female delivery rider in the UAE.

The Snap That Strip Me Off My Ego - Stretch Street Podcast with Mike Benzaken

The Snap That Strip Me Off My Ego - Stretch Street Podcast with Mike Benzaken

In this week’s episode, I had a great conversation with Mike Benzaken, Founder and Executive Manager at Citizen Warrior Foundation. He shared with us his journey to who he is today. How an event in his life changed his perception of life and made him more empathetic but not pathologically compassionate. Yea, I also had to ask what the difference what and I was enlightened by his explanation. This episode is packed full of gems, you need to listen intently to catch them. 


About Mike Benzaken 

Mike Benzaken is the former Chair CEO of an SME Multinational Life  Sciences Company and was instantly attracted to blockchain technology for its prospective applications in funding overseas disaster relief and economic development. Shortly after that, he began the startup Citizen  Warrior, which focused on designing a web 3 decentralized media apparatus, DeCent Media, to reinvigorate integrity in journalism. As a result of his pursuit, Mike had fallen victim to repeated institutional censorship and as a result, Mike sees TradFi, the Corporate Press, certain Regulatory  Bodies and unaccountable Supranationals as an existential threat and impediment to wide-scale human flourishing.  

Today, in the wake of multiple lending/custodial platforms filing for  Chapter 11, Mike and his development team have suspended their private equity venture to spearhead multiple initiatives with his nonprofit  Citizen Warrior Foundation. CWF is building partnerships, a private donor network and onboarding volunteers from experts across Legal,  TradFi, Defi, and “Web3” more broadly, in order to educate the public  about the various elements within the so-called “crypto-sphere” and emergent tech more broadly. Currently, CWF is investigating the root cause of the ~$1.5T crypto market drawdown that resulted in the numerous  CeFi platforms restricting their users from withdrawing their deposits and ultimately filing for bankruptcy.  

CWF has since ID’ed multiple points of prospective criminality and intend to leverage these events to assist in brokering a Depositors’  First outcome for the victims of what they see as rampant managerial malfeasance and gross neglect of those responsible for ensuring the financial help of the Celsius Network.  Relative to the Corporate Press and in line with CWF’s pursuit of  integrity and accountability in the “crypto-sphere, their brother  company Citizen Warrior, Inc. has launched WarriorCast – “Seeking Truth  in a World Seemingly Gone Mad.” In their podcast, Mike interviews  Industry Leaders throughout emergent tech and rips the nerd out of freedom-safeguarding tech and shoves the resulting goodness down his audiences’ brain-holes.  

There’s so much more to the Citizen Warrior Enterprise and ways YOU can personally get involved. You can learn more about the Citizen Warrior  Foundation and WarriorCast / DeCent Media and how to get involved through Citizen Warrior’s LinkTrees, here:

Work is vital, and of course, there is dignity in labour, but when a  person works compulsively and excessively hard with long hours, they might be in danger. Being a workaholic could affect other areas of their lives, which is why it is vital to find a balance or should I say to  find harmony between work and life.   

In today’s episode of Stretch Street Podcast, my guest King Wealth shared how his workaholic nature almost cost him his sight and the  lessons he learned from this experience. 

He also shares some powerful nuggets and resolves going forward, to maintain a more harmonious lifestyle without losing passion for his work.

How to maintain connection with your child - TCC with Eddy Smits

How to maintain connection with your child - TCC with Eddy Smits

This episode is special because according to my guest, as parents we think we know what is best for our children but as a matter of fact, we don't. So we need to come to terms with that and work alongside our kids to help them achieve their dreams all the while guiding them rather than controlling them and losing our connection with them.   

Eddy Smits is a TEDx speaker, an author a licensed NLP practitioner, a  certified Management Drives trainer and has a bachelor's in Pedagogy.  He was a professional artist for 25 years. He and his team developed and produced several educational programs, 25 theatre plays for children between 3 and 12 years old and a short movie.  

As a hospital clown, he visited more than 10.000 sick and palliative children. This led him to transfer into an expert in authentic communication and develop an innovative approach to connecting with children.  

As he speaks, he talks about connecting with children authentically and how you can equip them to grow into adults who can face any challenge. Eddy Smits is a TEDx speaker and coach.

Welcome to another episode of Business Monday, it is always a pleasure to bring you businesses that offer solutions, products or services to you as a business owner. 


Today on the show I had the pleasure of hosting Brandon Leibowitz. He runs and operates SEO Optimizers, a digital marketing company that focuses on helping small and medium-sized businesses get more online traffic, which converts into clients, sales, leads, etc. 


He’s been in this game for over 15yrs and he is sold out to help small and medium-sized companies get ranked at the top of Google by using search engine optimization tactics and bringing in traffic via social media, paid ads, etc. 


He has featured on several podcasts spreading the gospel of SEO and relevant digital marketing practices. And today he is on The Afrocentrist Podcast in this segment called Business Monday. watch and learn best practices and hacks to help you maximize the benefits of search engine optimization. 


If there is one thing to take away from this session, it is the fact that you need a website to benefit from SEO. Building your online visibility on borrowed platforms is not a sustainable model. So if you are yet to get your website up and running then you are missing out. 


Should you need help with that, please reach out to me via email at thefrocentrist@mailg.com

Dealing with Trauma - with Coach StephREED - on The Coaching Corner

Dealing with Trauma - with Coach StephREED - on The Coaching Corner

Today’s episode excites me even weeks after recording it because I strongly believe that it is very important in this season as a lot of people are starting to break down and react to the pressure of stacking up traumas from their childhood and a lot are not even aware of what they are dealing with. 


It is high time we started to talk about these things and find lasting solutions so that we can help the next generation be better equipped and self-aware individuals are then in a better position to make sound decisions from a healthy place.  We owe it to ourselves and the next generation to do better than our fathers and mothers did. 


On this episode of The Coaching Corner, I had a long talk with StephREDD who is an identity and communications coach, who helps people understand their true identity and communicates that identity in the way that they show up. She is an exceptional coach because she coaches from a place of experience having gone through and overcome her own traumas. 


This is a two-part session and I know you’d enjoy part 1 as well as part 2. So watch, listen intently and take note of what you can work on in your journey in life. We will be back next week with the concluding part of this episode.
