In today’s episode, we dive into one of the most debated topics in African homes:bride price.

We’re unpacking all of it with Bright Gameli and Charles Murito, who share their personal experiences, cultural insights, and a few hot takes.

Listen in and share your take! As always — it’s related… we promise! ✨

We’re backkkk! 🎉
After what feels like forever, we’re finally back on set — catching up on everything from career moves and new projects to the little (and not-so-little) updates that shaped us during the break.
This one’s raw, hilarious, and long overdue we’re getting real about what kept us away, how life’s been lifing, and what you can expect this new season.
So grab your tea (or wine, we won’t judge ) and let’s catch up!
It’s been a minute, but we promise, it was worth the wait. 💛
With love from Jules, Sharon &Noni.
