Imani Nekohl: The Podcast

After months away from the mic, I’m back, and a LOT has shifted. In this episode, I spill the tea (literally, over a Fruit Loop London Fog) about navigating the messy in-between of timelines, finding peace, and landing a job that feels wildly aligned. If you’ve ever felt torn between sticking it out or walking away, this conversation will give you the honesty, perspective, and encouragement you need.

I also spill on how I thought I was banned from the library, how fiction can be simply superior to a 10-step manual, and the books I devoured this month—including the one that had me bawling and reconsidering every other book I’ve ever rated.
