Episode Two of the OUR VILLAGE PODCAST just dropped on the Project Portal🎙️💙
Draws from the African proverb “It takes a village to raise a child”, underscoring the importance of community and intergenerational support in personal and artistic growth.
Fortune Igiebor, a.k.a. Mr. Rage Music, is a multi-talented musician, activist, and community builder who leads the collective The Rangers — an influential group dedicated to artistic collaboration and social change. His work has not only enriched the musical landscape but also shaped cultural and community spaces for Black and Irish voices.
Fortune’s mother, Irene Igiebor, joins the conversation, providing a unique intergenerational perspective on raising an artist and navigating the complexities of identity in Ireland. Together, they reflect on the vital role of community and family in personal and artistic growth, offering insights into the importance of support systems in shaping resilience and creativity.
