POD FAM 💚 Today on Am I Too Loud, we are joined by a man who is single-handedly trying to prove that men, in fact, can moisturize, lift heavy, be disciplined, smell good, be accountable and keep their sanity at the same time.

Our guest is Mohamet Mbaye — better known as Swaggy Mo and The Fit African — a creator, athlete, model, and wellness advocate based in Los Angeles.

Born to Gambian and Senegalese parents, Mo grew up in a village in Gambia until he was 15. When he moved to the US, he had to navigate colorism, bullying, and being “the dark-skinned African kid” in America. Instead of shrinking, he transformed his body, his confidence, and his life — and made it his mission to help men (and women) build real self-worth through fitness, discipline, mindset, and self-care.

Since then, he’s become a full-time creator and model working with global fashion, fitness, and beauty brands — from runway shows and campaigns to health and skincare partnerships, including his recent work in the wellness and beauty space and collaborations with brands like Sephora.

And today, he’s here for a conversation I’ve been DYING to have because… genuinely… ARE MEN OKAY?

If you’re raising men, dating men, friends with men, or are a man trying to unlearn and rebuild, then this one is for you.

PODD FAM 💚 Before we get into today’s conversation, I want to acknowledge the tragic events that have unfolded over the last couple of days. There is a lot of pain in the world right now.

Disclaimer: This episode was recorded before everything happened, but the themes still matter deeply. Please listen gently and take what you need.

In today's solo episode, we’re talking about something many of us were raised not to question: organized religion; not God, not faith, but the institutions that have shaped how we think, fear, and move through the world.

If you’ve ever felt conflicted about the religion you were raised with, or wondered where faith ends and control begins… this conversation is for you.

POD FAM 💚 This week, I’m sitting down with two powerhouses, Eche and Chika, the voices behind the Afropolitan Podcast, to talk about what it really means to come home. We get deep about identity, purpose, and the beauty (and chaos) of living between two worlds, America and Nigeria. From building community and unlearning scarcity, to redefining success and wealth on our own terms… this one is special.

POD FAM 💚 I'm back in Lagos with two of my favorite people — Endurance Grand and Osas Baby. I don’t think anyone has ever brought these two together on a podcast before… and they’re only here because of me. 😌  

Today, we're sharing our Unpopular Opinions and loudest takes (and probably getting canceled while doing it). Grab your headphones, leave your judgment at the door, and get ready to laugh, yell, and maybe disagree a little 👀

💚 New episodes every Wednesday!

POD FAM 💚 I’m back this week with my guy — Tayo Aina, the biggest Black travel creator in the world 🌍. From driving Uber in Lagos to buying his freedom and traveling to nearly 50 countries, we talk about what it really takes to build a global life as a creator.

We get into everything, from being Nigerian abroad, the cost of freedom, creative burnout, love, and why chasing purpose matters more than chasing money.

Hope you enjoy this one 💚

POD FAM 💚 Let's talk about New York Fashion Week, influencer culture, and why fashion is never as inclusive as they want you to believe. I have a lot to say.

My first fashion week experiences were filled with lots of drama, the cost, the fake flexes, and what it’s really like navigating the industry as a Black creator. I also share why Lagos Fashion Week feels more like home and why sometimes it’s better to go where you’re celebrated, not just tolerated.

This episode is your unfiltered backstage pass.

Hope you enjoy this one 💚
