“You’ve heard the saying, ‘beauty is only skin deep.’ Well… the beauty industry has turned that into a multi-billion-dollar reality. We’re talking creams, serums, facials, treatments - each promising the kind of skin that’ll make you feel unstoppable.

But here’s the thing… are we really buying better skin, or are we buying self-esteem? And if confidence has a price tag, what are we actually paying?

Today, I’m looking at the skin industry through the eyes of a skin specialist, Bukky Eyinade, and we’re going to talk about what’s really going on beneath the surface.”

I sat down for coffee with Clinical Psychologist, Lola Bade-Aluko to talk about what depression really looks like in adults — how it shows up, how it feels, and why it’s not always easy to spot.

It’s August, and this month is all about women. I’ll be taking time to look at us — our experiences, our stories — through different angles and environments.

“Why am I not married?”

It’s a question so many women have asked—and have been asked—over and over again. It’s gotten to the point where the idea that a woman could actually be happy without a husband isn’t even part of the conversation.

For a lot of women, the thought of never getting married feels scary. Almost like something is wrong if it doesn’t happen.

But here’s something worth asking:

“Do I actually want to be married?”

Not should I be… not when will I be… but do I really want it?

It’s a different kind of question—and it might lead to a very different kind of answer..

I had a long and productive interview with Clinical Psychologist Kelebongile Lebo Mojanaga-Masilele on the increasing number of children struggling with mental health issues.

The Mental Health Crisis You Can’t See

In this episode, we’re opening up the conversation on children’s mental health.

Why are so many kids struggling? What signs are we missing? And how can we show up better as parents, caregivers, and mentors?

They are carrying things we don’t always notice.

They laugh, they play, they show up—but underneath, many are hurting in ways we can’t see.

Anxiety, fear, pressure to be perfect… it’s all there, behind the smiles and screen time.

Let’s talk about the things that matter—the stuff that doesn’t always come up at bedtime or in the car, because sometimes the quietest kids are the ones screaming for help.

Let’s talk about virginity.

The word itself simply means untouched, unused — in its raw form. But when we talk about virgins, we’re usually not talking about olive oil or hair. We’re talking about people — specifically, women — and their sexual status.

How far will you go to remain a virgin?

Is there a cost too high? Or is there no cost too high?

SHE RISES

She walks through fire, yet bears no ash,

With silent strength and steady sash.

The world may bend, the winds may roar,

Still she stands—then rises more.

Her tears are rivers—soft, yet deep,

Where dreams and promises dare sleep.

She weaves her pain into a song,

And sings it bold, and sings it strong.

With hands that heal, with hearts that fight,

She holds the dark, then births the light.

Not made of glass, but steel and grace,

The battle carved upon her face.

She bends, but never breaks apart

The thunder echoes in her heart.

A mountain moving through the storm,

A thousand voices in one form.

So here’s to her—the quiet flame,

Who burns with love, and not for fame.

The world may try to write her end—

But she begins. And then, again.
