SAMBARANTHONY: a CommUNITY Catchup on thriving with the arts

When you log on to SambaRanthony’s website and bio page, there isn’t much of a description, but there is a quote that speaks for itself - “Defining myself, as opposed to being defined by others, is one of the most difficult challenges I face.” - Carol Moseley-Braun.

But I have to admit, it’s so hard to define and describe the greatness that is Rhandy Adolphe, Founder and lead Photographer of the space. I am introducing you, or if you know him, reintroducing you to a dear friend of mine, who is an incredible purveyor of the arts and multimedia creative I met at a podcast program last year. If you’ve tuned in to CommUNITY Catchup before, you’ve definitely seen his handle, @sambaranthony, in the live chat, engaging with our community members – needless to say, Rhandy is an amazing friend and support system and I am inspired by his unique vision.

In addition to being an incredible photographer that captures many subjects and themes in an array of settings, Rhandy has his own podcast and media platform, Lupinore, which showcases Canadian lifestyle and social movements through art and music, and in discussion via the Just Facts Podcast where Rhandy and his partner, Yene, dive into happenings and roots of Toronto’s arts scene through candid, engaging conversations. As well as a branding team member of Toronto-based LOUD.army collective.

Rhandy does SO much for his community and beyond, so I brought him into The Fold to discuss what has been keeping him inspired + creative and how he has been adapting his platform model in a meaningful way.
