Episode 04: Location, Location, Location (Part 2)

This episode is a mirror of the previous one in that it looks at the impacts of location on a professional journey but from a different vantage point. Aidan Sykes of Sony Music, was raised in a middle-class community in Mississauga, Ontario. Listen in to hear how Aidan’s experiences with racism in his own neighbourhood coupled with being perceived as 'not hood enough' from some Black people affected his early journey. Incidentally, Aidan was mentored by Kevin Johnson of Episode 3. And you get to hear the story of how Aidan and host Naki O. met on a Toronto subway.
