eat/share/listen with Hakeem Onibudo @ Impact Dance

Always good to surround yourself with inspiring people. Hakeem and his awesome hip-hop theatre company and street dance organisation (Impact Dance) is one such inspiration. Find out about his initiatives and collaborations here on his website, and find him on Twitter @hakeemonibudo. I've been going to his dance classes for the past 12 years on and off. Love them, although I think I'll forever be a beginner ;-)

Thanks, Hakeem for sharing your ideas below!

(eat) my fail-safe dish...? Chicken and rice, nice and simple.

(eat) favourite restaurant/cafe/bar and why…? I'm a big fan of Tas Turkish in London. Love Turkey!

(share) can't get through the day without...? Seeing my daughter, Nayomi.

(share) recent inspiring find I've discovered online...? I'm inspired when I come across any uplifting story of human sacrifice (note from Rachel: check out Hakeem's Twitter feed for loads of motivating projects).

(listen) a tune I turn up on the radio...? 'This Woman's Work', the Maxwell version (originally by Kate Bush). Have a listen below:

(listen) a quote that resonates with me...? If you want to change some things in your life, then you need to change some things in your life.

All images thanks to Hakeem Onibudo. Check out some of Hakeem's choreography in this video below :)

And pop over to my YouTube channel to have a listen/watch of my tunes to dance to. A mix of hip hop and old school tunes to get you in the mood for a dance (also good to cook to!) :)
