Today on Am I Too Loud?!, we’re talking about the pressure to have it all before 30 beacuse my 29th birthday was just last week and we need to talk!
From the dream career, to wanting all the money in the world, that dream body, the relationship, the purpose, the dream life… everything!
In this episode, I’m unpacking my solo birthday trip, some pre-birthday anxiety and just general thoughts on aging and being almost 30!
Let’s talk about getting older, running out of time, and maybe giving ourselves a little more grace before we lose our minds completely.

Today on Am I Too LOUD?!, our guest is Olive Okoro, better known as @digital.olive, Founder of Queer Motherland, creator, advocate, and community builder.
In this special PRIDE MONTH episode, Olive joins the PODD for an honest conversation about being African, queer, and still choosing to belong fully to yourself. You know those conversations you’ll remember for a long time and that would change lives… this is one of them.
This conversation explores what it means to exist loudly in a world that often asks queer Africans to shrink and what it actually takes to choose freedom, softness, community, and self-acceptance.

JOIN THE POD FAMIt’s the 6 month mark of the year and, PODD FAM… we need to talk. not in a “my life is falling apart” way, but in a “wait, am i actually becoming the person i keep saying i want to become?” way. this episode is about growth, limbo, discipline, disappointment, ambition, self-love, and the very rude realization that being busy is not the same thing as being aligned. i talk about feeling like i’m growing in multiple areas of my life at once, why that feels so uncomfortable, what i thought this year would look like, what it actually looks like, and how i’m trying to stop romanticizing my potential and start becoming her for real.

Today on Am I Too LOUD?!, we’re finally having the money conversation. In this episode, I’m talking about my complicated relationship with money: growing up in Lagos, watching my mom give even when she barely had enough, learning to see money as a blessing instead of a tool, coming to America as an immigrant student, surviving college on basically fumes and prayer, and then suddenly making influencer money that completely changed my brain.
We’re getting into the guilt of sending money home, the pressure immigrant kids carry, why boundaries are necessary even when you love your family, and how social media can warp your relationship with money when everyone online looks richer, younger, softer, shinier, and more booked than you. I’m also talking about my first brand deals, going from $150 a month to getting paid thousands for content, learning about savings, taxes, investments, financial responsibility, and why financial freedom is really the soft life.
This episode is personal, funny, honest, slightly chaotic because your girl was sick, and also sponsored by SENDWAVE — my first official podcast sponsor,

Today on Am I Too LOUD?!, we're getting into ALL the tea from the past few weeks because your girl has been MIA and I'm back with opinions, gossip, and so much pop culture chaos. Trying out this new series where I share my loudest opinions around all things POP CULTURE! From Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson's breakup to the Met Gala 2026 fashion, the Rihanna vs Tyla vs Ayra Starr drama, James Charles dragging an unemployed fan, and Kevin Hart's controversial roast, we're covering it ALL.
I'm also getting real about mental health, lack of discipline, and why I've been inconsistent with the podcast. We're talking about monogamy, dating culture, colorism in the music industry, why the AMVCA and Met Gala shouldn't be compared, the hantavirus cruise ship conspiracy theories, and why the Ayra Starr vs Tyla discourse is rooted in pitting women against each other. Plus, I'm breaking down why Kevin Hart's roast was uncomfortable but necessary, and whether we're all just too sensitive now.
This episode is messy, unfiltered, and exactly what you need. Let's get into it, PODD FAM!

JOIN THE POD FAMIT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME!! In today’s episode, Ismatou (On Our Terms) and Sofi (Am I Too Loud?!) sat down for the conversation they've both been circling for years. The one about sex, silence, shame, and everything Black Muslim women were never supposed to say out loud.
From the sex talk that never happened to the cultural double standards that shaped how they learned about their own bodies, this episode is raw, honest, and long overdue. They're unpacking what happens when religion gets weaponized, when silence does more damage than the thing everyone's afraid to name, and what it actually takes to start unlearning all of it.
