Grace Africa on TikTok, Identity, and What It Means to Belong
Whether you’ve struggled with anxiety, felt culturally misunderstood, or used humor to survive — this is an episode that meets you where you are. Comedian and creator Grace Africa joins therapist Kati Morton, LMFT, for a powerful conversation about mental health, cultural identity, TikTok fame, and the universal search for belonging.
MY NEW BOOK IS AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER
Why Do I Keep Doing This? https://geni.us/XoyLSQ
In this episode of Ask Kati Anything, Grace shares her incredible journey from nursing school to TikTok stardom — and how growing up between Houston and Nigeria shaped her comedy, worldview, and mental health. Together, they explore:
✔️ Burnout in healthcare and the cost of being an empath
✔️ What it's like growing up Nigerian-American and navigating two cultures
✔️ The stigma around mental health in African communities
✔️ Comedy as a tool for healing, storytelling, and activism
✔️ The highs and lows of TikTok visibility and online identity
✔️ How it feels when people “pray against” your dreams — and how to rise anyway
✔️ Reclaiming your identity and finding where you truly belong
🧠 Watch to the end for a conversation on sleep, empathy, and the quiet power of choosing yourself.
