SHOGUN - Brilliant TV!

Chet Anekwe

Just finished Shogun. What an amazing show! Dare I say, better storytelling than Game Of Thrones. It didn't need dragons, magic, nudity or sex to tell a compelling, totally engrossing story full of tension and intrigue..

The show should, and will, win tons of awards!

Hiroyuki Sanada (Yoshii Toranaga) & Anna Sawai (Toda Mariko) should rake in nominations and awards for their performances! They were absolutely brilliant!

And to me, Fumi Nikaidô (Ochiba No Kata) and Tadanobu Asano (Kashigi Yabushige) should also get some love for their amazing nuanced and brilliant work.

What a wonderful production. Absolutely wonderful!

Gone he is

Chet Anekwe

Mike Tyson once said he sometimes misses the guy he used to be. That at times being this gentler, quieter, less angry person make him feel like, to quote him, “a bitch”

However he recognizes that he is a better person today. And the “other” guy cannot be let out. He destroys everything around him and brings no peace.

I understand this perfectly.

Today I am a better, calmer and wiser person than I have ever been. I am actually embarrassed when old friends remind me of my old self. And get downright indignant when those, who have not seen me in decades, assume that I have not changed…. I have.

But every now and then, like Mike, I miss the “old” me. He shielded and protected me. Defended my emotional ground and provided a safe place where I could hide my fears and insecurities.

He is gone and I are better for it. And even as Butter says I am no longer under attack, and I am truly and finally safe, I do, at times, feel lesser than whole that he is gone.

Nonetheless, gone he is and gone he shall remain…

Silent Suffering

Chet Anekwe

The death of Robin Williams, 3 years ago, pushed me, for the first time, to openly discuss my own battles with depression, with a Facebook post.

With the recent anniversary of Mr. Williams death, I felt that post was worth republishing on my blog. The stigma of mental health is still strong in Black and African communities, yet the struggle remains real for many.  

We need to reach out to those that struggle everyday and let them know, that the light in the tunnel, is inside them.  

No-one should silently suffer, alone.

Black, White and Les Bleus

Chet Anekwe

I look at the part that, race, and the 1982 French World Cup team, played in shaping my rooting interests for international sports, and the lack of diversity on the 2015 World Cup winning, USA Women's National Team.

Fathers Day...

Chet Anekwe

Father's Day!   Being a father, along with being a husband and partner, is the most important thing in my life. 

But what does father's day mean to me and my father?  Well here, it is more complicated than I would have ever wished.
