Ever felt like you're living a script someone else wrote for you? In this episode of Stories & Strolls, we’re peeling back the layers of who we are versus who the world expects us to be.

I get personal about my experience as a Nigerian pastor’s daughter—how the weight of expectations shaped me and how I’m learning to break free. I also dive into the labels we carry, the ones we never questioned but have shaped our entire identity. Are they really us? Or just stories we’ve been told to believe?

Books always have a way of holding up a mirror to our lives, and today, I’m bringing two powerful reads:

📖 Finding Me by Viola Davis—a raw, unfiltered memoir on identity, resilience, and reclaiming your voice.

📖 The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest—a deep dive into self-sabotage and how we stand in our own way.

This episode isn’t perfect—none of my recordings are—but growth is in the process, and I’m embracing that with each episode. So, if you’ve ever felt stuck in a version of yourself that doesn’t quite fit anymore, this one’s for you.
