Ep. 123 - Wisdom Through Versatility (w. Malik Shaheed)

This episode was a long time coming.

 

Recorded some months ago, at a time before the current pandemic threw all of us for a loop and social-political turmoil was not making such a resonating impact, I never fail to be reminded that everything happens in due time.

 

I have a tremendous respect for my next guest and his many achievements. 

 

Malik Shaheed is the personification of entrepreneurship and dedication. 

 

A local icon of sorts, having been at the forefront of pioneering & championing the Quebec Rap movement for the over a decade, his notable contribution as an artist, producer and promoter cannot be understated.

 

As a prominent celebrity reporter and interviewer, with a resumé featuring some of the top names in both music & entertainment the likes of Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, & Beyoncé just to name a few, you have to give it up for a young kid born in a low-income housing in Montreal's Little Burgundy.

 

As a TV Host and Media personality, he's helmed and hosted a gallery of programs, notable events and celebrity galas.

 

But a cause that remains at the forefront of his efforts and motivations is giving back to the community and especially to the youth through a variety of advocacy and mentorship programs.

 

Knowing how busy he is, it was an honour to pick his brain for what was indeed a short but empowering conversation. Another exciting exchange, which I hope you'll enjoy.

 

You can connect with Malik via Facebook, Instagram, as well as his official website.

 

Be sure to check out and show your support to the Youth Stars Foundation, a local Montreal non-profit committed to fostering life skills, self-esteem and strengthening interpersonal skills through a variety of youth programs and workshops.

 

Enjoy.
