In this episode of the BecomingU podcast, we talk what it really means to grow up in Nigeria. From communal living and moments of self-blame to the emotional pressure that comes with society’s expectations. We also reflect on how our religious upbringing shaped who we are today. It’s a conversation about the importance of community, the need to break out of survival mode, and how we can find our way back to prioritizing ourselves.
