Children are gifts from above placed in our hands to nurture and care.

Parenting is no joke and raising a child with special/ additional needs requires supernatural powers and such parents are 'super heroes' in my opinion.

In this episode, Tunde candidly shares her beautiful story as mother to Ayotunde who has special needs and his brother OJ.

Happiness is indeed a choice!

Listen, comment, share!!

The black woman shares an intimate relationship with her hair; it is her crown, a symbol of her femininity and one of the things used to judge her beauty.

So what happens when a black woman loses her hair through no choice of hers but due to a medical condition she has no control over? Does she no longer stop being a black woman or does she stop being beautiful? Absolutely not, she is not her hair!

My brave and beautiful guest Chinazo Anyacho has 'Alopecia' (hair loss) and in this episode we talk about her journey as a black woman now rocking her bald look having lost her hair.

Listen, comment and share your thoughts.

I am starting year 2 of my podcast journey with gratitude and love!!!!! May 2025 be kind to us all, let's go again!

My year 1 as a podcaster has been an interesting. This episode talks about my journey as a newbie in podcasting and I re-cap on my episodes.

Special thank you to my amazing guests and listeners; without you I would be telling a different story. Let's do it all over again next year!

Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Everyone has a story!

I admire and celebrate my people when I see them doing well; Charles Emeka is one of such people.

In the exciting episode, we start from the very beginning and work our way up to present day.

Charles Emeka wears many hats; he is husband, father, public speaking coaching & trainer, entrepreneur, author of many books and in my opinion the very best toastmaster/compere/emcee there is!!!

As parents, how and when do we discuss sex with our children? Should we have 'the birds and the bees' conversation? How many of our parents had the conversation with us?

Duchess Iphie is a relationship, sex and intimacy coach/strategist and in this fun episode, we discuss sex from the perspective of parents or guardians.

Listen, share and comment; I would love to hear your thoughts.

According to Prostate Cancer UK;

Movember is all about men's health and in this episode, my guests Emeka Onyereri and Henry Okechukwu who are prostate cancer survivors very candidly share their journey.

My hope is that this episode will encourage my black brothers to get their PSA tests done, open up to each other for support and start to have conversations they may find difficult or challenging. As the saying goes; 'a problem shared is a problem halved'.

Early detection of prostrate cancer can be the difference between life and death!

Awareness is crucial, please listen and share with your male friends and relatives!

Parents of children with special or additional needs are in my opinion 'super heroes'!

In the African culture, many of us do not know how to relate with children with special/additional needs or their parents for various reasons; the main ones being fear about hurting the parents feelings and ignorance about the child's special or additional needs.

In this frank episode, my younger brother Obumneme and I discuss parenting my handsome, smart and very special nephew and God-son, Chirolu who is on the autism spectrum.

I have learnt so much about autism and Chirolu just from asking questions and I continue to learn about the autism spectrum by reading up and watching programmes abouts it.

Let us not be afraid to ask questions and having those difficult conversations. In my humble opinion, ignorance is not bliss and we owe it to ourselves to educate ourselves!!

Listen, comment, share your experiences and thoughts.

PS: If you are a 'super hero' willing to share your parenting journey, please send me a message on IG or Facebook.

Here I come again with my thoughts!!!

'Marriage' is a beautiful thing but is it really what determines how good a relationship is?

I have shared my thoughts, let me hear yours!!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month!

This year, I am celebrating my friend/sister; 'Kolia'. Kolia is an Amazon! She survived breast cancer and now dedicates her life to educating and supporting other women diagnosed with breast cancer.

Breast cancer affects men and women; raising awareness is crucial and can be the difference between life and death!
