Tunde Onakoya is reshaping futures.  With a small table and a big vision, he created Chess in Slums. But what he really created was a portal to possibility, opening doors for young people who’ve been overlooked by society.

From Nigeria to Times Square, Tunde is teaching children to see themselves not as pawns, but as kings and queens. But the story doesn’t stop there. Tunde’s journey is about answering a call to purpose, doing the work even when no one’s watching, and staying true to your vision—even when the world gets loud.


In this episode, we’re diving into the quiet, powerful decisions that shape big dreams. We’re talking about resilience, staying grounded under pressure, and authenticity on this journey, no matter how the odds are stacked.


Let’s get into it but one quick thing.

This episode was recorded shortly after Tunde's record-breaking 60+ hour chess marathon in Times Square. You may notice some sniffles — a testament to how deeply he pushed himself and how hard his body worked to recover. We’re grateful he came to share this moment with us, sniffles and all, reminding us that true greatness often leaves a mark. (And if you listen closely, you just might sniff a hint of the resilience that made him a champion.)

]]> 19 Harsh Truths About Being A Creator | M.I Abaga 19 Harsh Truths About Being A Creator | M.I Abaga Sat, 21 Jun 2025 23:00:00 GMT 1:31:50 6856fa92c1af62f027d8bc9a false https://shows.acast.com/crea8torium/episodes/crea8torium-mi-abaga 6856fa92c1af62f027d8bc9a 6855dfb18d560ebfbb256921 crea8torium-mi-abaga full 1 1 Today on Crea8torium, we have one of the most defining voices in African hip-hop.

The human who’s learnt to navigate fame, silence, pressure, and purpose all at the same time.
