In this episode, I’m joined by another lovely guest, my friend Awele Nwachukwu! We discuss our “instant noodle bond” formed through our local swimming club, living in the same neighbourhood, and shared experiences growing up as firstborn daughters in our respective Nigerian households.

Expect honest convos, a little laughter, and some food for thought.

In this episode, I’m joined by another lovely guest, my friend Zarin Khan! We talk about how we met, our respective STEM backgrounds and shared love for reading and writing. We also explore the literary representation of Muslims and people of colour, as well as the challenges of pursuing projects publicly without letting the fear of judgement and societal expectations weigh us down.

Expect honest convos, a little laughter, and some food for thought.
