Open Conversations

(This is a rebroadcast of an episode that we did in Season 1, Episode 11)

On today's show, I speak with my guest Violetta. We talked about her experience growing up in Russia and being black, being open-minded and free-spirited, why holding on to first impressions of people might not be a good idea and we briefly discuss our theories on death.

We have a bit of an announcement - "Open Conversations" is officially joining the podcast network "That's Not Canon".

Ghana can be an interesting place with different opinions and viewpoints from people who currently live there and others who live in the diaspora. In this episode, we had a conversation with three individuals who were born and raised in Ghana and later left to other countries for work and also school.

We discussed feelings about home, what culture actually means, and the recent LGBTIQ news which has been in the local headlines lately.

Warning: This podcast episode has explicit talk about sex.

So this episode is a bit different. Firstly, I'm openly talking about private stuff about my sex life and other things sex related. This episode was led by my friend Mame who came up with some great questions. It was a very revealing conversation where I spoke about kinks, sex hang ups, and a host of other things. You can literally hear my sweating in this episode 😅

How do you define "friendship"? Everyone has a different definition for friendship and who they call a "best friend" and a close friend. And how do we make friends in this modern age especially with technology and the internet?

On today's episode, I asked my friends their thoughts about friendships and how they view friendships in today's world

With the advancement of technology and social media, the world of dating has changed in the last couple of years. Dating apps and social media seem to be the place where most people look for companion or their significant other. Phrases like "Situationships", "Friends With Benefits", "Shoot Your Shot", "Slide In DMs", are the popular terms most people are familiar with in the modern dating world.

In today's episode, we wanted to have a conversation and get takes on how people feel about this new age of dating and how they're participating (or not)

On today's episode, I spoke with Michelle. We talk about her moving back to Ghana permanently from New York, setting up an initiative called Villa Diaspora (https://www.instagram.com/villa.diaspora/) to help with returnees coming to Ghana, social media and got a very interesting take on the new wave of feminism in Ghana.
