Many of us leave the shores of our respective native lands to further our education or in search of greener pastures in the diaspora. When we settle in the diaspora, many of us do not give back to help our brothers and sisters back home.

My guest Dr Aderonke Kujore shares her story from when she left Nigeria to the birth of her orphanage in Nairobi, Kenya and the great work her foundation (Aderonke Foundation) is doing in Nigeria.

We all want a better Nigeria and we can work towards achieving it by doing our little bit.

I always believed that being Gen X born and raised in Nigeria before coming to the United Kingdom toughened and equipped me with wisdom and tools to navigate life.

However, my 'Gen X' daughter continues to give me food for thought and I am now unsure which of us is wrapped in cotton wool.

My guest Adaeze Smolarek (popularly known as Mrs S) and I have known each other since we were 11/12 years old! Weight loss drugs are a controversial topic and Mrs S is brutally honest as she shares her weight loss journey from the beginning to present day. You can follow Mrs S on her You Tube channel 'Being Mrs S' to find out more about her weight loss journey. Adaeze and both enjoyed 'chopping it up' on this episode.

What is it about cremation that evokes very extreme views? Some people (myself included) want to be cremated when we pass on and there is the other group who are repulsed and mortified at the thought of being cremated.

Have you thought about what how you want to be sent off when you pass on? If so, what are your views on cremation; are you for or against it and what is the reason for your decision?

Dr Nkechi Penberton-Mola (' senior Nkechi as I fondly call her) is a practising psychiatrist in the UK.

In this episode we discuss mental health as a whole, the stigma attached to mental health within the Nigerian community and what we can do to help friends and loved ones going through mental health issues.

I learned so much in this episode and I also enjoyed it very much because there is no dull moment with senior Nkechi.

When children are removed from the care of their parents by social services, they are usually placed with foster carers while next steps are being considered.

It is a well-established fact that there is a big shortage of black foster carers in the United Kingdom and as a result black children are very often placed with foster carers not culturally matched with them.

What is stopping more black people from fostering? Do we have all the relevant information we need to consider fostering? What are we scared of? Is fostering rewarding emotionally and financially? The questions go on and on ......

My guest; Nkiruka Onyido has been fostering for several years and in this very informative episode, she shares the highs, lows, rewards and everything we should know about being a foster carer.

Nkiruka's book; 'Open homes, open hearts' is expected to be out in Summer 2025 so be on the look out for more information!!
