A speaker, poet, and philosopher, Bayo is renowned for his thought-provoking perspectives on global crisis, social change, and the transformative potential of embracing chaos. Together, they dissect the limits of protest movements, Black struggle and activism, polarization in U.S politics, and Nigerian trickster philosophy as a framework for change and post-activism.
