What if the world only saw half your story? In this powerful debut episode, Soulja and Wild Child open up about life as Black men in wheelchairs, what people assume, what they ignore, and what it takes to survive and inspire. From growing up in the chaos of the '90s to overcoming violence, poverty, and a system designed to hold them back, these two lifelong friends talk about fighting to be seen as more than their disability. They share music, hard-earned wisdom, and love for the community that shaped them. This episode is raw, real, and full of truth. And above all, it’s a reminder: you're stronger than what you've been through.
