Tea With my Uncle Irohs
My name is Son of Paper and I’m a 23 year old rapper from San Francisco, CA. Uncle Iroh, is a character in Avatar, who my generation has deemed the most wise and patient mentor ever. I see our world as Prince Zuko like... divided and misguided but with so much goodness trapped inside. In season 1, I sat down with my “uncles” and “aunties” to pick their brains on how to best navigate this planet with wisdom, grace and compassion.
