Oye! Salve! Welcome to the Mid-South Bugalu Podcast! In this episode, Shandon "Rasta" Allen is a Memphis martial artist, capoeira instructor, and a District Leader at Primerica Financial Services. He also happens to be the nephew of Stax Records musician, David Porter.
Rasta (pronounced "H-A-S-T-A" Portuguese for "rasta")
We talk about capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art with predominantly West African roots, and how Rasta was introduced to the art form. We also discussed how important it is for minorities in the United States to be financially literate. In addition, we talked about language learning, martial arts, and the value of bringing new experiences to the Black community in Memphis.
