Emeka Mbadiwe - Renaissance Man

With over 10 million views and counting, Emeka’s films have gone super viral and have hit a positive nerve among all who watch them. I was amazed that this young man responded to my request to interview him. I was pleasantly surprised and very inspired by the end of our conversation. I had come across Emeka Mbadiwe’s short film, “Found Dead” years ago on Facebook and I was riveted with the storyline and the message. I thought to myself, “who is this young man and how did he become so inspirational?”

I have come across many of his other films and motivational quotes and videos, but this one was quite moving. He’s had over 10 million views and millions of shares. I’ll share a link to it at the end of this write up

But who is this young man? I recently interviewed Emeka Mbadiwe and I found out more about what makes him uniquely him. He’s a young Nigerian American born and raised in the US and lives in New York.

He’s a film maker, an author and a motivational speaker among many other titles that he holds. As busy as he is, I was grateful that he gave me the opportunity to get to know him and to learn from him.

I would say he’s a positive role model for the young and the old. I imagined my son’s who are born and raised here in the states emulating his character and discipline. It’s refreshing to see a young man in this day and age with values and a strong and positive message that is relatable to people of all ages.

Here’s our video interview.
