👥 COMMUNITY IS EVERYTHING. BUT TRIBE FIRST.

Eine Community aufbauen? Das klingt nach Zahlen. Nach Followern. Nach Metrics.

Aber darum geht's nicht.

Es geht um die ersten Supporter. Die ersten Zuhörer. Die ersten Feedback-Geber. Die ersten Wegbegleiter.

Meine Tribe. Die Menschen, die von Anfang an dabei sind. Die die Vision teilen. Die mitgestalten. Die RAW leben.

Denn sie sind es, die aus einem Podcast eine Bewegung machen.

🌍 Building a community? Sounds like numbers. Like followers. Like metrics.

But that's not the point.

It's about the first supporters. The first listeners. The first feedback givers. The first companions.

My tribe. The people who are here from day one. Who share the vision. Who shape the journey. Who live RAW.

Because they turn a podcast into a movement.

🌍 Zwischen den Welten.

Deutsch-afrikanische Wurzeln. Anzug trifft Afro. Struktur trifft Seele. Präzision trifft Rhythmus.

Diese Dualität? Sie ist meine größte Kraft.

Sie lehrt mich täglich: Es gibt nie nur eine Wahrheit. Nie nur einen Weg. Nie nur eine Perspektive.

Deshalb ist RAW WITH DARMAS zweisprachig. Deshalb verbinden wir Welten. Deshalb entstehen hier besondere Gespräche.

🎯 Between worlds.

German-African roots. Suit meets afro. Structure meets soul. Precision meets rhythm.

This duality? It's my greatest strength.

It teaches me daily: There's never just one truth. Never just one way. Never just one perspective.

That's why RAW WITH DARMAS is bilingual. That's why we bridge worlds. That's why our conversations hit different.

Real talk.
Die meisten teilen nur ihre Erfolge.
Ihre Siege.
Ihre Highlights.
Das ist nicht RAW.
RAW ist wenn die Maske fällt.
Wenn wir über die schlaflosen Nächte sprechen.
Die Selbstzweifel.
Die durchgeweinten Abende.
Den Moment, wo wir fast aufgegeben hätten.
Denn genau da - in dieser Verletzlichkeit - da entstehen die Gespräche, die wirklich was bewegen.

Was hat mich dazu inspiriert, RAW WITH DARMAS zu starten?
