Happy Independence Day, Guinea! 🇬🇳

On October 2, 1958, Guinea became the first French West African colony to choose independence from France.

This Independence Day, and every day, we celebrate all of Guinea - the coastal landscapes of Lower Guinea, the mountains of Middle Guinea, the savannas of Upper Guinea and the lush forests of Forest Guinea. 

From the rhythms of the djembe to the traditions of the Mandé, Fulani, Susu, and other communities, we celebrate the Guinean culture, heritage and the generations carrying its story forward.

Our next guest has one of the most powerful and inspiring journeys in professional sports. :flag-zw: From growing up in Zimbabwe and overcoming unimaginable adversity to becoming the first Zimbabwean fighter to earn a victory in the UFC, he has built a story defined by resilience, faith, sacrifice, and refusing to give up.

From working as a gardener, security guard, painter, and cleaner while pursuing his dream, to becoming an EFC Welterweight Champion and eventually reaching the UFC, Themba Gorimbo’s journey is bigger than fighting. After famously having just $7.49 in his bank account before his first UFC victory, his story captured the attention of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and inspired people around the world.

From conversations about growing up in Zimbabwe, losing his parents at a young age, survival, chasing his dreams across Africa and eventually America, mixed martial arts, discipline, faith, giving back to his community, and using his success to create opportunities for others, this episode is packed with wisdom, perspective, and inspiration.

We are blessed to have Themba Gorimbo on One54 tomorrow!

Audio will be available wherever you listen to podcasts at midnight and on YouTube at Noon EST tomorrow!

🇬🇼 Happy Independence Day, Guinea-Bissau!

On September 24, 1973, Guinea-Bissau declared independence from Portuguese colonial rule after an 11-year liberation struggle. From the cultural traditions of the Bijagós people to the rhythms of Gumbé and the biodiversity of the Bijagós Archipelago, Guinea-Bissau carries a heritage that extends far beyond its borders.

Today, we honor its history, celebrate its culture and recognize the generations who helped shape its path to independence.
