The Most Podcast - Episode 19: Fatoosan
This week’s incredible guest on The Most podcast is DJ, radio host & educator Fatoosan of Belgium’s foremost women-led hip-hop crew SupAfly Collective and member of the Kiosk Radio family (alongside friend of the pod Lefto). Fatoosan retraces her greatest influences (stretching from hardcore to Fiona Apple, by way of Jamiroquai), shares why you won’t catch too much R&B on her setlist and how music heals her. On this episode, Fatoosan also gets the realest with host Dominique as they traverse the weightful past few weeks and a lifetime of inhabiting Black bodies in White spaces and unpack their thoughts and plangs regarding the long-overdue conversations being had in a world finally waking up to the fact that Black Lives Matter. She shares how as an Afrodescendant teacher she can impart empowerment to her all too often disenfranchised pupils, takes us through working through burnout and rediscovering herself as a protector of the young people that the institutions and law enforcement discriminate the most against and prey upon. Fatoosan shares her pathway to music industry success, from childhood mixtapes to trailblazing a path of non-conformity for women in music for the past decade with SupAfly Collective. She talks setbacks and resurgence, the power of passing on artistry and her hopes for the future of nightlife. Listen now!
