34: JED XO - Pioneering Change and Serving with Purpose in Nigeria
In this special episode of We Them Niggas, I sit down with my brother JED XO, a talented performing artist from Edo State, Nigeria. I first met JED through music NFTs, which he has discussed on the podcast before. This conversation comes at the end of my first trip to Nigeria, where we traveled across the country, exploring new terrains both literally and figuratively. JED shares how our journey together inspired him to push beyond his limits, from visiting the point of no return in Badagry to discovering more about my African American roots.
JED discusses his vision for using his platform as a deliberate artist, with a focus on addressing hunger in Nigeria through initiatives like food banks. We dive deep into his exploration of blockchain technology—from minting his first NFT on Manifold to exploring Cardano, Ethereum, and DeFi. Plus, hear about his time with the Creative Alchemy team and meeting Daniel and PressTK, his producer.
This episode is filled with powerful insights on innovation, community-building, and being a pioneer for positive change. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about art, technology, and making a meaningful impact.

In Episode 33 of We Them Niggas, Patience Otokpa shares why she’s starting her own podcast—and what’s missing from the platforms young people turn to today.
We talk about what it means to be a guide without being a guru, how to hold space for vulnerability without sacrificing your own boundaries, and the real work of making space for others to be seen.
Patience also shares how she first got into Web3 and how Creative Alchemy helped shape her thinking and approach to storytelling, trust, and intentional community.
