Episode #86 with Erick Kwashie

The Swinging Palm Trees Podcast

On today's episode, I chat with Erick, a Script editor & Story Consultant. He shares with us his story and how he got into the industry, the ongoing challenges he faced and still faces, why representation is vital and the importance of heritage & cultural storytelling and providing platforms for the unheard stories. Erick breaks down what a Script editor does and what makes a good script. On a lighter note, we also address the ongoing debate on which jollof rice is better, and of course, Erick shares with us the saying that continually inspires him.
