Sum of Ages
Sum of Ages is a growing audio archive of human experience.
Each episode preserves one person’s voice - speaking in their own words about a lived experience that has shaped how they see the world. Across hundreds of topics, the project gathers stories of loss and happiness, failure and purpose, regret and resilience - without performance or expectation.
The long-term aim is simple and ambitious: to accumulate one million years of lived experience, creating a public library of real voices that can be returned to when guidance, recognition, or quiet company is needed.
Sum of Ages exists as a reminder that whatever we are carrying, someone else has carried something like it before - and chose to speak.
Sum of Ages
26 years of life, and ADDICTION, with Tatenda.
This episode, we have Tatenda — 26 years young with some real insight and wisdom to share. He opens up about growing up in an African-American household in the Midwest, and how a visit to Zimbabwe gave him a deeper understanding of his roots and family. But the heart of this conversation is about his relationship with alcohol and the journey to sobriety. When his body essentially began to give up on him, Tatenda knew something had to change. That turning point catapulted him into a new chapter of life. Enjoy 26 years of life, and ADDICTION, with Tatenda.
