Beyond Fixing the World: Embracing the Cracks and Creating Sanctuary (Bayo Akomolafe)

Listen. Bayo Akomolafe is right now (2026) blowing my mind all the way open the way David Whyte did in 2016. (Do they know each other? They must?) I am about to dive into his book These Wilds Beyond Our Fences but THIS INTERVIEW RIGHT HERE had me gagged. Paused and paused and paused just to sit with the poetry flowing out of him sentence after sentence. An invitation to curiosity, to thinking and talking and living outside of the boundaries we, often subconsciously, find ourselves confined by.
