In this episode we talk about taking control of your life and living it on your terms. We delve into the lessons life throws our way, from challenges to triumphs and unpack the concept of decolonizing the mind, shedding societal expectations to discover your true essence. Masculinity in Africa takes center stage, as we explore what men are looking for and what they need. And spoiler alert, it's not love! But true strength often lies in forgiveness. We discuss the importance of extending grace to our parents, acknowledging their flaws while appreciating their love. Join us as we embark on this journey with a special guest who's making a real difference – Dr Mzamo Masito, CMO, Google in Africa, pan-Africanist par excellence and founder of African Men Care (https://africanmencare.com/). Get ready to learn, grow, and perhaps even confront some long-held beliefs.

I wanted to end the year with this episode with a gratitude practice. It seems like everyone is focused on ushering in 2022. It has been the second year of living with this pandemic.
