In today’s episode, I explore a topic that’s been on my heart for a while now, what happens when influencers get boo’d up? I delve into the various slayers of this question, using observations, some data and my personal experience with showing a significant other on my social media platforms. The changes in engagement suggest there’s something to look into there and on the influencer side, can we really blame some for using that to their advantage?

What are your thoughts? Why do you think people pay more attention to some influencers, especially women, when they get into a relationship? Let me know in the comments!

Achievements are great, but not at the detriment of our well being. The motivating factors for doing well in school, in career and generally performing excellently for me, is something I have often times had to interrogate.

Why must you be excellent, always? Is it really high-functioning anxiety?

Are you really organised? Or do you just want to be in control?

Why must things go perfectly? Is it really a fear of failure?

I explore these paradigms are more in this video essay! Enjoy!

In today's audio only special, I am joined by Jaqui, a Black adoptive mother and Sherifa, an adoption specialist talk to me about all things Black adoption. Did you know Black children stay within the system up to 4x longer than their white counterparts, simply because on average, there are less Black than white adoptive parents coming forward and thus, not picking them. 

Our conversation ranged from single parenthood, choosing adoption over waiting for a potential spouse to have a child, why Black people don't adopt, the adoptive process and so much more! 

I hope this helps someone out there. 

If you are interested in learning more about how to be an adoptive parent, visit www.youcanadopt.co.uk/blackadopters for more information.
