    From there, the gathering unfolded into an exploration of memory, longing, and the stories we carry. On the eighth floor in Lagos, surrounded by lush plants and a rare evening breeze, guests shared poems, journal entries, photo albums, and reflections on what it means to love and to be loved. The night closed with an open conversation on what people look for in a partner: honesty, clarity, and tenderness.

  • #TalkWithTodah: On birthday and its intrigues with Richard Momoh
    In this episode, I caught up with a good friend in an absorbing conversation. And interestingly, he happened to be my birthday mate. Which made this particularly exciting.
    We had a cool and intriguing talk around being grateful, his pressures in life, focusing on his journey, what he likes, what he thinks as a matter of serious interest, and what he feels about certain things. You will surely find his story is deeply inspiring.
    It's also a summary of how my week has been so far; spending my birthday working, the outpour of love from my well-wishers, overwhelming messages of warm felicities, and the lovely calls.
    Have a dive in, and relish your listening pleasure.

  • The last lap
    Special Shout-Out: Seyi Olaniyan (Project Coordinator), @weareredx, for consistently showing up for us daily and managing everyone for these two weeks.
    This is a random feature of a few of my media colleagues and fellow participants at the #RadioNowBootcamp. From being selected from over 4K applications to being picked among the lucky 50 and for the next big thing in town. That was particularly defining and fulfilling.
    This is a live recording from Elegushi Beach. I've always wanted to do this — an episode live from the beach! And I had to do it. And it feels surreal now.
    Over the past days, these featured participants have been hopeful for an exciting career, learned so much, gained immense exposure, forged power networks, and are very much ready to take charge in the space!
    Join in on the fun now! And don't ever miss out on the conversations for anything.
    Have a vicarious listening pleasure ahead.
