  • The BBL Effect, Colorism & Skin Bleaching | Pepper Soup | FANG ft. ALEXUS ALIZAÉ

    Welcome our people to Season 2 of The FANG Podcast! Going under the knife can be a scary thought and an even scarier experience; with cosmetic surgery surging its way in demand, BBLs are the latest trend. As women, we do as we please with our bodies yet society always has to share what they deem to be worthy as a woman. Just as BBLs became mainstream, there was a time skin bleaching was in (and still is) within the Nigerian community. Skin bleaching goes as far into giving birth to the term colorism. Our guest Alexus Alizae is making her debut as she joins The FANG Podcast to discuss how these issues impact us a black women. To keep things smooth while under the weather, consider trying Nigerian Pepper Soup; spicy but g double o d GOOD!

  • What Are Our Quirks, Kinks & Fetishes? | What is Indomie? | FANG

    Welcome our people to Season 2 of The FANG Podcast! Quirks and kinks don't steer far away from each other. Fetishes on the other hand, is a different game that everyone can't play. There are so many kinks to explore but until the right partner is present, we'll continue exploring the sex world by ourselves. Take a seat and eat a Nigerian household favorite -- Indomie, on behalf of its originating country, Indonesia. WE KNOW! We were just as surprised.

  • Afrobeats in Mainstream Media + It's Origin | What is Agbo Jedi? | FANG ft. SUDXN

    Welcome our people to Season 2 of The FANG Podcast! As Nigerian Americans, we are proud of the progression our people are making in the music industry. You can hear artists like Tems, Burnaboy, Wizkid and more, touching almost every coast in the world! We also love the artists we know personally and locally such as Sudxn. She's a Brooklyn native + Nigerian artist, creating music for not only her community but for herself. Afrobeats has gained so much popularity over the years, and we appreciate the origin of it, especially artists like Fela Kuti (there’s really no other like him) that changed the game for us. Beware of Agbo Jedi Jedi, it can do wonderful things for you but the taste… not so sure if there’s a soul in the world that actually likes it.

  • Getting to the Altar | Nigerian + American Wedding | Origin of Jollof Rice | FANG

    Welcome our people to Season 2 of The FANG Podcast! “Do you, Mukrimat and Rebecca, promise to love and nurture, The Fang Podcast, in sickness and in health?” and WE DO ! Yet, our mid 20’s has not been at all what we imagined. We expected to be married with a couple kids, instead we found ourselves married to the hustle and grind. Although we may not be heading to the altar soon, we take a dive into the parts of the nigerian traditionals weddings and how it has become a hybrid ceremony interweaving american style weddings. At every Nigerian wedding, Jollof rice is surely to be served, and the feud of who makes it better is still up to grabs but hear us out when we say add Senegal into the Jollof Rice wars.

About FANG

From the publisher's feed

FANG is a platform to share our lives as African Americans who grew up on traditional Nigerian values in Brooklyn, NY. After accomplishing the life long goal of our immigrant-parents to have a Bachelors degree we are now ready to live the great life that having a degree is suppose to reward us with. Yet months and years have gone by and we are still wondering what’s next; marriage, careers, businesses, toilet paper shortage, spiked gas prices? With COVID-19 making its debut not to long after walking the virtual graduation stage, we are taking the opportunity to really sit, be still and think; what the heck are we supposed to be doing right now? What do we want to come from our lives because what we were expecting has not revealed itself as promised? We were told by our elders to do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. And chile, we do not want to work!
