In this episode of Dem Bois Podcast, I sit down with Kaneni, and they share their journey of identity, exploring themes of indigenous ancestry, self-expression through dance, and the complexities of family dynamics. They discuss the significance of their chosen name, Kaneni, which means abundance, and reflect on moments of liberation and connection with others.

I'm neurodivergent and have always used art and dance as forms of self expression as they've allowed me to communicate in ways I've struggled to with words.

I'm building a beautiful life with my partner, my birth child Nopalito (a pup) and my step kid Quinn (elder cat). Instagram: @mellow.oleadas Celebrate 10 years of Dem Bois Inc.! 2026 marks ten years of Dem Bois Inc.
