In this episode, I speak with Gift, an author, and brand marketing storytelling specialist about her education experience growing up in Nigeria. We talked about what she was like as a child, our thoughts on the difference between how society raises boys and girls, and what we envisioned for a more equitable system in the future. However, due to a lag in our internet, and other technical difficulties, the audio portion unfortunately did not work out. So, to check out a text-only version of our conversation, please head to Instagram and give @homeroomed a follow. With the help of Bard, I paraphrased the meat of our chat, and will be sharing them in digestible chunks throughout the week.
