Summary

A conversation with Akil Benjamin, Head of Research at Comuzi. Over the course of a few months, Akil sat and recorded a voice diary. As Akil explains, this was an exercise in finding direction, security and a sense of self, a means of being freer with himself. We discuss topics and themes that pop up in the diary, from mental and physical health, body image, building a sense of progress, creating a culture of sharing our experiences, holding ourselves to account when we fall short, as well as the impact of these things in our personal and professional lives.
