POD FAM 💚 This is our final episode of the year, so we wanted to end on a conversation that’s reflective, grounded, and honest about what it really means to speak publicly, take space, and choose yourself when things get heavy.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Cancel culture and context collapse
• Being misunderstood online
• Internet outrage vs real accountability
• Faith, culture, and organized religion
• Nigeria, misinformation, and global narratives
• Burnout and taking a break publicly
• Community response vs online pile-ons
• The pressure to constantly explain yourself
• Why context matters more than clips
• Being “too loud” on purpose
• Choosing yourself even when it’s unpopular

This episode isn’t about being right.

It’s about being honest, thoughtful, and understanding the cost that sometimes comes with speaking publicly.

Thank you for rocking with us all year. 💚

We’ll see you next year.

POD FAM 💚 This episode might make some people uncomfortable, and that’s exactly why we had it.

On this episode of Am I Too Loud, I'm joined by Igho and Donald for a long, honest, no-rushing conversation about selfishness, burnout, boundaries, and what it actually looks like to choose yourself as an adult.

Somewhere along the way, being “selfless” turned into being exhausted.

And in this episode, we unpack why the goal for next year might need to be… being selfish — not in a careless way, but in a self-preservation, clarity, and self-respect way.

POD FAM 💚 Today on Am I Too Loud, our guest is Andrea Okeke, better known as DreaKnowsBest — Nigerian-American actress, creator, comedian, storyteller, and digital powerhouse. 

In this episode, Drea opens up about what becoming your best self actually looks like. You know those conversations you’ll remember for a long time… this is one of them.Drea really knows best.

We got into the business of being a creator, the realities behind building something from scratch, the level of healthy delusion it takes to keep going, and how her Nigerian upbringing shaped everything.

POD FAM 💚 Today, we have actual reality TV royalty in the building.

She was born in the Congo, moved to the U.S. as a kid, and has been choosing joy and resilience ever since. You first met her on Love Island USA Season 2, where she went from overlooked to unforgettable and made history as part of the first Black couple to ever win the American franchise.

Then, because once just wasn’t enough, she came back on Love Island Games, won the entire thing, and officially became a two-time Love Island champion. 

Off-screen, she’s a TV personality, content creator, and model, sharing fashion, fitness, beauty, and ‘soft girl entering her bad-ass era’ vibes with a massive online community as @justinejoy

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!
