        • S2: E8: On the #EndSARS Movement with Richard Samson

          P. S: This episode was recorded on the 12th of October, as at which all information stated here were accurate.  We are uncertain how the next few days may turn out and as such, we do not bear the risk of misinformation if subsequent changes are made in the future.


          What started out as a social media hashtag has grown into a national outcry by millions of Nigerians calling for the end of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad.

          Over the past days we have seen how Nigerian youths have pushed for not just the dissolution of SARS, but the end of Police Brutality.

          I sat with a friend, Richard Samson, to talk about everything on the movement, from our own personal experiences with SARS to the alleged end, the new SWAT team, and the stifling of tech companies in support of the movement.

          By sharing our personal experiences, we hope it has been proven that ANYONE can be a victim of this insane harassment. Kindly listen and share on all platforms.

          Remember, your voice matters, and the movement matters.

It's our belief that controls our life, not our environment.  You want to specifically take time to do some soul searching to find out those things you subconsciously believe.

        • My Self Discovery Journey with Bolutife Oladele

          Welcome back Heroes!

          We reversed the setting of this episode by placing me, on the hot seat. On this episode, I sat with Bolu Oladele to discuss the process i took to birth my ebook - A Hero Girl's Guide to Self Discovery. 

          This lockdown gave us the chance to self reflect and I did just that. I went to an intense study of seeking and searching,  Now you do not have to do that because I’ve gathered all of these resources into this workbook for you to learn about the most important subject in the universe – You! Yes you! I believe this is the perfect time to take some time out alone and know yourself inside and out, because only then, can you truly begin your path to self discovery
