Children who have additional needs are truly special!

In this truly inspiring episode, my guests IK Nnadi & Amaka Nnadi (nee Nwosu) and Kenny Nwosu share candidly about their journey raising their amazing children Kamsi and Kobimtochi who are on the autistic spectrum.

Simply put; I am in awe!

'White Nanny, Black Child' is a documentary about West African children (many Nigerian) who were privately fostered by White British families in a practice known as 'farming'.

The documentary won the 2024 BAFTA Television Award for Specialist Factual amongst other awards.

It is believed that over 70,000 West African children were 'farmed' between 1950s - 1990; some of the children returned to their families and sadly some did not.

My guests Kunle & Ore Kaffo featured in the documentary and graciously agreed to share their story with me in this very interesting episode, listen in and share your thoughts in the comments.

Ore has written a book about her experience called 'Knocked 4 Six: Going from Hopeless to Hopeful' which can be purchased on Amazon using the link below:

Are we really as only as old as we feel?

Is 'age' just a state of mind? Should age determine zest for life?

Should we limit our partners' ages to close to ours or love who loves us and see age as just a number?

Does society place harsh expectations on the 'mature woman' and why should we comply?

The questions are non-exhaustive.....

My guest Sola Akin-Olugbade is a mature woman who lives life on her own terms!! In the episode, nothing was off limits and I am not sure I have laughed so much with a guest!!

Listen, comment, share, laugh and enjoy!!!!!!

Many of us immigrants have moments when we miss home and yearn for a reminder of 'the good old days'. 042 Restaurant & Bar in Leytonstone, London (we just call it '042') reminds me of growing up in Enugu, Nigeria at a time when life was sweet, there were no worries about kidnappings or ritualists and love and enjoyment filled the air. Uche Nnadi is the co-owner of 042 and in this fun episode filled with loads of laughs, he tells about how '042' was birthed, the challenges along the way and how it remains home away from home for many of us!!!! If you are in London and have not been to 042, you should!!!! Let us support each other!! #Nigerianowned#blackowned

Ruth's parents are Nigerian; she was born, raised and lives in the UK.

Ruth is young, beautiful, smart, ambitious, intelligent, brave, strong, hard working (she is a model and also works her regular day job), the list goes on......

Ruth has sickle cell in this episode, we have a candid, funny, uplifting chat about sickle cell including managing life (and pain) and relationships. Ruth is more than her genotype and has refused to let sickle cell get to run the show!

I learned so much listening to this amazing, black queen's life journey.

As a community, we must continue to raise awareness about these issues that affect us; knowledge is power.

I am curious to know what your thoughts on this topic are! Listen in and let me know your take!

Dyslexia is a learning difficulty many of us still do not know much about. Many people still link dyslexia with intelligence and this is totally incorrect. I believe that the best way to learn about anything is straight from someone who has direct experience about it. My guest, Chinelo Ezigbo is dyslexic; she was born and raised in Nigeria before moving to the UK. I learnt so much about dyslexia from this episode and you will too so listen in. Ignorance is not bliss in my world and knowledge is indeed power.

Happy new year everyone! We survived it and we go again this year with exciting episodes touching on every and any topic; nothing is off limits!

May 2026 be kind to us all!!
