You may recognize Banky Wellington from the romantic comedy “The Wedding Party,” or maybe from his incredible career as an award-winning writer and artist. But in this special episode shot on site in Lagos, Nigeria, Banky and your host Stacy Ike sit down for an honest conversation about his journey into politics, learning true communication through his wife, and battling skin cancer three times.
From how he honors his identity as a Nigerian American to love languages to the dangers of being a reckless single male, don’t miss Banky Wellington’s story behind the success and how he finds the ability to keep hoping, keep trying, and keep believing.
KEY POINTS:
QUOTABLES:
“I would internalize a lot of the trials and the tough times and just use it as fuel.”
“I was so limited in motion I started drawing strength from just being able to sit next to my wife and just our hands touching - just that period of being able to depend on somebody and draw strength and love and encouragement from just that touch.”
“When you find somebody that you're willing to try to do life with, you learn things about yourself. They help you find things that you didn't even know were there.”

Stacy has a way of bringing out each guest’s vulnerable side. I find myself responding to the convo as if I’m there with them. If there’s an episode with a guest I’m unfamiliar with I usually end up wondering why am I just hearing about this person? Looking forward to more inspiration.
