Grief & Growth ft. Aishat Adesanya
In this episode, I am joined by Aishat Adesanya, whom I met through a mutual friend. We discuss her experience of losing someone close and how grief impacted her life and writing. We also explore Aishat’s approach to dealing with writer’s block since her debut, and close the episode by sharing a brief excerpt from her book.
Expect honest convos, a little laughter, and some food for thought.
