About Osa

Rapper. Teacher. Brother. Artist. Father. Wise ass. Lover. Nerd. Kinda geeky but he likes the ladies. An advocate... of many things. Organizer. Thought leader. Tax paying citizen. What does it really matter? 

I'm not sure any more. I thought I could make it up along the way but that hasn't really been working out for me. Well in some ways it has maybe. I mean, there's Osa The Healer. I made that up. So then that begs the question: what exactly do I heal? And truthfully...I just thought it sounded really cool a long time ago and I stuck with it. That's all I really got at this point. I could have come up with a compelling narrative but nope. Just the shallow thoughts of a twenty something year old on MySpace enfactuated with his own profile photo.

Now was that some prophetic insight into who I may become one day? Perhaps. For now it's just a figment of my imagination. An aspirational caricature who's probably from a different universe altogether anyway. By definition he's not even really me. Me? Naw. I think I'm too messed up to try to heal anyone. No thanks. I love you though. I really do.

So what does it mean to heal? What modalities can I use to get there? How does God manifest? These are some of the questions that guide an African man by the name of Osaretin Obaseki.

He resides in DC. Matriculated through Baltimore. Raised in Silver Spring. Born in Atlanta. Conceived in Nigeria. Who is Osa?
