In this episode of Consumers of Culture, host Olumide Yerokun—designer, cultural narrator, and founder of Pidgin English Co.—dives into four powerful stories showing how the African diaspora is shaping global culture in sports, fashion, and design.

From Nigerian Heritage Night with the Houston Rockets to Live Breathe Futbol’s MLS collabs, we’ll unpack how representation and ownership are rewriting the playbook. We’ll celebrate Ademola Lookman being named African Player of the Year, and explore how Yinka Ilori’s collaboration with McLaren Automotive is redefining what cultural creativity looks like on the global stage.

These aren’t just headlines—they’re cultural indicators of visibility, equity, and storytelling.

Tune in, share, and join the conversation as we ask: Where else should we be showing up louder?
