Join Sia and Tommy as they highlight the importance of seeking therapy. We talk about why we tend to shy away from such discussions and quickly equate any signs of mental breakdown or mental health to spiritual sickness or the "work of the devil." Our goal is to shed light on why it is necessary to listen without passing judgment and develop that sense of empathy towards others.

Welcome to another episode of Shifting Perspective(s). This episode is a continuation of Episode 5 (Beyond the cute social Media Pictures), our conversation with Abdul and Nngadie Kamara. If you have not had the chance to listen to episode 5, please check it out. Don't worry. We will wait for you to catch up. 

In the second part of the conversation, we discuss relationship boundaries, personal growth in a relationship, and the impacts our partners have had on us. Let's face it, no relationship is perfect, but with the right partner by your side, you can learn and grow together.

We live in a society of relationship “goals,” but little too often, we fail to look beyond social media images shared by couples that we adore on the internet.   

So in this episode, we tried to shed light on some of the struggles behind those cute social media pictures. To do so, we had the opportunity to feature two fantastic couple. Abdul & Nngadie connected through Instagram in 2014, and their relationship has grown beyond their imaginations.

Join Sia and Tommy as they bring to light some of the edgy conversations surrounding sex, especially in our African households. In this episode, we decided to chat about different instances of why we think some of our parents or the society we grew up are not forthcoming when it comes to sexual dialogues. We also touched on ways to make the uneasiness that comes with sexual discussions a thing of the past and how to have healthy sexual conversations.

Gender disparities are structural bias most of us have as a result of our upbringing, primarily when you are raised in a traditional African home, where parents distinguished boy and girl child base on the roles they allow them to take.

 

In this episode of Shifting Perspective(s), Sia and Tommy have a conversation with Mimi Nonie. Mimi is a Photographer, an activist, and founder of Femme Collective SL. Femme collective is an organization that's dedicated to amplifying women's voices through community outreach and events like the Vagina Monologues. 

 

Mimi joined us to discuss gender disparities and how those disparities continue to hinder us even as adults. By having conversations like these and sharing our experiences, we hope to inspire dialogues in our respective communities.
