First, I know it's kind of late to wish you a happy new month but still *welcome to December* the month where people unwind as they prepare for the new year. Undoubtedly, 2020 was uncomfortable for quite a number of people, with lives, money, jobs lost and what not. However, you are still alive and I strongly believe it is for a purpose that you, we (including myself) are still here. Life is truly a gift hence, gratitude is important. Listen as Laura shares her near-death experience in this episode and we hope it will make you think of YOUR reasons to be grateful.  

P.S: If you are interested in the subject of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit and want more information, please email me: [email protected] or [email protected]. I'd be happy to engage you in a conversation. *wink* 

Happy Holidays!

With Love,

Watching the movie #Citation made me discover a faulty thinking of mine that places the full responsibility on the woman in the event of a rape case. Acknowledging this thought of mine was really critical for me and I also thought to share it with you :) 

If you have not seen this movie, now is a good time to do so and I would love to hear your thoughts. Were you (like me) unconsciously placing the burden on Moremi for the actions she took? That said, Kunle Afolayan's movies are always thought-provoking and this was no different. I shared some of the lessons I learned from the movie in this episode and hope you enjoy it also!

Life is generally in phases. Sometimes we feel like we need to move to the next phase, forgetting we had prayed to be where we currently are. There is a beauty in every season of your life and this episode is a gentle reminder that gratitude is a must! May we never be ungrateful.

This is another episode where I get to share a not-so-popular aspect of my life (weaknesses and flaws YO!!) and I am still thinking twice about  it, lol. If you're here, then it means I ended up releasing this episode! 

People don't like to talk about their weaknesses, their struggles or imperfections because of the fear of being judged or laughed at. It was not comfortable admitting that I have these struggles but this is an important step toward healing and improvement. 

I hope in sharing my own struggles, you get the strength to acknowledge your weaknesses and deal with them. May the odds be in your favor! 

Love and Light, 

Ololade

These past few weeks in Nigeria have been a series of unfortunate events with October 20, 2020 being the darkest day in the history of modern day patriotism under a civilian government. 

That said, this message is particularly for Nigerian youth to get busy gaining knowledge about Nigeria and Africa as a whole. We need to know where we are coming from to prepare for where we want to get to. Nigeria will rise again, and it is in the little things we do.

Hello everyone! In the wake of what is happening in Nigeria 🇳🇬 this short charge is meant to encourage you to guard your heart and mind from the information overload. Please protect your heart so you do not get overwhelmed with everything going on. Love and Light ❤️

Hello everyone! Currently, we are working towards revolutionizing the Nigerian Police Force by protesting against the operation of the SARS (special anti-robbery squad) who are supposed to be emblems of protection but have instead become a societal nuisance. Enough is enough! Please lend your voice one way or another. Thank you 😊

If you have been body-shamed in the past, I am sure you will be able to relate to this episode. But in all honesty, we may have also body-shamed other people and this is a reminder that we can do better and we should do better. People come in different shapes and sizes and should be respected regardless of how they look. If anything, I hope this episode inspires you to approach peculiarity with humanity!

Encountering another culture different from what I had always known was scary at first but now I get the whole picture *wink*   

In this episode, I note the differences between the German and Nigerian culture (BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE). If anything, I have learned that you can always take what you want from a culture and leave out the rest, as long as there is learning and growth.

P.S: This is me speaking about my experience and does not represent the entire German and Nigerian cultures because it is all about perception. I still hope you will enjoy the episode.

Unfortunately, grief is one of those emotions bound to be experienced in life. 13 years ago, my father died and that event altered our (my family) lives forever. In all, I CAN definitely say that God has been good to my family and I along the way. In this episode, I shared some personal details of my life along with my siblings, also as a way to honor my father's legacy. To those who are grieving now, it is going to be alright! You are not alone! Love and Light from Ololade.
