About this listen
In this raw and personal episode of The My Vision Born Show, on The Abdel Russell Experience podcast, Abdel Russell takes us back to his junior high school years—when he got his first real taste of racial issues in America. As a 2nd-generation Caribbean immigrant, Abdel shares eye-opening stories of navigating a new world where racial identity, social divisions, and culture clashes shaped his perspective.
From his first interracial relationship and the backlash it sparked to encounters with racial gangs that controlled school hallways, Abdel lays it all on the table. And in the midst of it all? His unexpected introduction to rock and roll; thanks to a jewish schoolmate, which opened his ears—and his mind—to a whole new musical universe.
This episode is a deep dive into youth, race, music, and identity, told through the lens of someone who lived it firsthand. Tune in for a candid, unfiltered conversation that challenges perspectives and sheds light on the complexities of growing up in America as an immigrant.
Listen now for a journey through the past that still echoes today. #TheAbdelRussellExperience #MyVisionBornShow #RaceAndIdentity #RockAndRoll #GrowingUpImmigrant
