In this episode, we get to spend time with a true improv pioneer -- Oluwadamilola Apotieri-Abdulai.  Damilola is one of the few improvisers in Nigeria and in West Africa. He has an amazing background in using theater, improv, and other techniques and structures to positively impact individuals and communities throughout the region and indeed across the world.  The work he's done and is doing will inspire you - and is reason enough to listen in to this conversation.
