Paapa Essiedu is not only an incredible actor, lighting up our screens and London’s stages, he’s also a great friend and probably the most emotionally literate man I know.In this conversation, Paapa opens up about losing both his parents by the age of 20, and what it taught him about love, grief, and how sadness creates the imperfections of our character which allow us to be authentic and unique individuals. We also discuss spirituality, Christian guilt, and how growing up going to church shaped Paapa’s ideas of what it means to be a good person. Paapa also shares his experiences of racial profiling as an actor, and how he’s learned to channel this anger into action.I deeply admire Paapa and his ability to express himself calmly and eloquently in the face of injustice – I really loved this thought-provoking and inspiring chat and hope you do too!#PAAPAESSIEDU #PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBAD—Find us on: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/madsadbadpodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>&nbsp;/&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@madsadbadpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a>&nbsp;/&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@MadSadBadPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>—Credits:Producer: Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Magda CassidyEdit Producer: Pippa BrownEditor: Shane O'ByrneVideo: Jake Ji & Grisha NikolskyVideo Editor: Josh BennettOriginal music: BUTCH PIXYSocial Media: Laura CoughlanMarketing: Eleanore BamberExec Producer: Jemima RathboneExec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will MacdonaldSenior Exec Producer: Holly Newson<hr> Hosted on Acast.
