In this "guepisode" (a clever term coined by Shane the Brain Knox), we sit down with Huntsville’s renowned artist, Ase Selah, to explore his inspiring journey. Growing up on the rough streets of Connecticut, Ase found refuge in art, joining the prestigious CCY art program after high school. Faced with the harsh realities of his environment, he made the life-changing decision to leave Connecticut, fearing he couldn’t escape death.
A chance encounter with a woman who attended Oakwood University in Huntsville led him to apply and get accepted, bringing him to Alabama. Ase shares how his work as a Child Protective Services investigator caused anxiety and depression but also developed him personally, shaping him into the artist he is today.
With deep insights into manifesting through art, stories of resilience, and reflections on his growth, this guepisode is a testament to turning adversity into purpose. Don’t miss this powerful conversation!
