Gina Belafonte joins Boundless with Kathy Eldon for a powerful conversation on legacy, grief, art, activism and what it really means to turn adversity into fuel for collective healing and change. As producer, activist, and co‑founder of Sankofa.org, Gina shares how she carries a historic lineage while fiercely carving a path that is entirely her own.

This episode dives into:
•⁠ ⁠How legacy, grief, and adversity can become creative and political power
•⁠ ⁠Artivism: using film, music, and culture as tools to educate, motivate, and activate
•⁠ ⁠Building Sankofa.org and sustaining social justice work over time
•⁠ ⁠Creating new rituals for grief, loss, and healing when tradition is missing
•⁠ ⁠Why Gina believes, even in a dystopian-feeling time, that “great is coming”

If you’re navigating loss, questioning your purpose, or looking for ways to weave your art into meaningful action, this conversation is for you.

We talk about growing up Belafonte, the birth of Sankofa.org, and why art and storytelling are essential tools for social justice. Gina reflects on the Harry Belafonte Best Song for Social Change Grammy, discovering Iman Jordan’s “Deliver,” and supporting her daughter Maria Belafonte’s debut feature film, “Pockets of Heaven,” at the intersection of filmmaking and activism.

Joy isn't a destination you buy a ticket to. It finds you when you stop waiting for permission and start moving.

This is a story about the relentless, sometimes ridiculous pursuit of joy — and the surprising truth about where it actually lives.

Pause.
Step off the path.
Breathe in air so sweet you fall asleep.
And wake up — already there.

In an over-digitized world, how do we find our way back to ourselves and to one another?

In this episode of the Boundless Podcast, we sit down with award-winning filmmaker Roko Belic for a deeply personal and inspiring conversation about living a life without limits one driven by curiosity, courage, and genuine human connection.

Roko opens up about growing up as a cultural outsider in Chicago, the unlikely education he received through a broken TV stuck on PBS, and how those early experiences shaped his fearless approach to life and filmmaking. We also dive into what the science of happiness actually tells us spoiler: it's not money or your job and why prioritizing relationships might be the single most important decision you ever make.

In this episode:

• Growing up between cultures and feeling like an outsider
• How a broken TV sparked a lifelong love of the world
• What the science of happiness really says about money, work & relationships
• Living boldly without following society's rules
• Why following what moves you matters more than playing it safe

No worries! Here's the updated full description:

What would you do differently today if you knew your time was almost up?
In this episode, Kathy Eldon shares a poem and the raw, honest reflections behind it born out of watching two people she loves most, her husband Michael and her daughter Amy, face serious health crises.

Inspired by Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying," Kathy goes beyond adventure and bucket lists to explore what it truly means to be present to love fully, forgive freely, and say the things that matter before it's too late.

She also reflects on a profound gift her 98-year-old mother gave her: a warning before she passed, creating space for nothing to be left unsaid.
None of us knows how much time we have. This poem is a reminder to start living like it.

What does it mean to truly belong in a world that keeps us endlessly connected — yet somehow more alone than ever?

In this episode, Kathy sits down with Lauren Vitek, a researcher, writer, and speaker whose work explores one of the most urgent questions of our time: in an over-digitised world, how do we find our way back to ourselves and each other?

Through global research and lived experience, Lauren reframes loneliness not as a personal failing — but as a signal. An invitation back to what matters most. Her work explores how play, rest, and meaningful environments shape lives of connection and purpose, and why human kindness might just be the most radical act of our time.

Lauren is the founder of the KINDER Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting prosocial behaviour and cultivating a society led by kindness. She also writes beautifully on Substack at The Kinder Campaign.

Kathy is joined in conversation by Tihane Mujić, artist, creative director and founder of UNBECOMING, a global storytelling initiative to heal loneliness through human connection.

This is a conversation about belonging, about showing up for each other, and about what it truly means to live a life of connection and purpose. ✨ If this episode moves you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Grammy Award–winning singer, songwriter, and cultural organizer Iman Jordan shares how he turned his life story into songs that heal, uplift, and drive social change. He’s written for artists including Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Jazmine Sullivan, and The Internet, and in 2025 received the Harry Belafonte Best Song for Social Change Award at the Grammys for his anthem “Deliver.” As founder of The ArtWell Coalition, part of the Creative Visions family, Iman is building a regenerative platform that nourishes artists from the inside out so they can turn their art into healing and impact for communities around the world.

In this intimate conversation with Kathy Eldon and drop in co-host, Tihane, Iman shares how his early life, church roots, and first steps into the industry shaped the artist he is today—and how he learned to transform his own story into songs that inspire.

We talk about what it takes to start a creative career from scratch, the setbacks and near‑misses along the way, and the people and places that helped him keep going. Iman opens up about the moment things shifted, how he began writing for other artists, and the path that led to a Grammy and global recognition.

You’ll also hear Iman break down his creative process: how he listens for truth, writes from lived experience, and crafts lyrics and melodies that speak to healing, courage, and social change. If you’ve ever wondered how an artist turns personal pain into powerful music that moves the world, this conversation is for you.
