On this Valentine’s Day special, we have a conversation with author, Fatima Bala, about love, identity, and representation. We get into the importance of telling more Arewa stories. Fatima shares her journey to writing her novel Broken and the reception the book has received. Then we dive into her experience of being Hausa in the diaspora and how culture, faith, and community shape who she is.

And in true Valentine’s Day fashion, we end the episode with a fun round of “Would You or Wouldn’t You?”, a game inspired by themes from Broken that tests just how far we’d go for love.

You can find Broken and Hafsatu Bebi in bookstores across Nigeria and on Amazon.
