In this honest and heartwarming episode of Trybe Talks, Princess Nyah sits down with Stephanie, a mum navigating life between cultures while raising her son with love, laughter, and deep self-awareness. From funny moments over bowling and cinema trips to heartfelt reflections on parenting across generations, Stephanie reminds us that there’s no one right way to be a parent — we’re all just figuring it out.

They talk about the invisible load, the pressures mums carry, and the importance of creating space for joy and connection. Through it all, Stephanie’s story becomes a celebration of resilience, growth, and the everyday wins that make motherhood so beautifully imperfect.

On this episode of Trybe Talks, Nyah sits down with Reks — rapper, songwriter, event organiser and founder of Reks and the Mandem — to unpack how a spontaneous kitchen session snowballed into a polished live platform championing both emerging and established artists. Reks shares why he builds stages that prioritise artist experience and takeaways (“content is king”), and how collaboration, craft and high standards turned a grassroots idea into a growing ecosystem.

They dive into the real juggle: raising a six-year-old and a two-year-old while running a creative brand. Reks keeps it honest about sacrifice, missing the mark sometimes, and course-correcting with presence and routine — reading time, shows, football in the park. His “parent superpower”? Communication: staying genuinely connected so kids feel seen and involved, from set-ups to studio days.

It’s a conversation about backing yourself, building your village, and remembering why you started — even when bills, deadlines and late nights stack up. If you’re a creative parent trying to balance nappies with new releases, this one’s for you.

Charmaine joins Trybe Talks to share how she went from social worker to founder of Epic Care—a supported living service for 16–18-year-olds—built hand-in-hand with her mum. She opens up about running a 24/7 service while raising three children, and why choosing flexibility over a 9–5 became the catalyst for both her business and her parenting. From preparing “everything-in-the-bag” drop-offs to carving out pockets of self-care, Charmaine shows what it looks like to design work around family— not the other way round.

We get honest about the emotional labour of entrepreneurship: burnout, doubt, and the constant need for a strong support system—partners, family, and a reliable team. Charmaine shares the parenting values that guide her: communicate even when the truth is hard, give kids at least a focused 20 minutes a day, and never dim a child’s “flame” because that fire becomes their power. It’s a conversation about leadership at home and at work—dreaming big, staying solution-focused, and not losing yourself in the process.

In this powerful conversation, Nyah sits with Lala — founder of The Hive, an events company creating judgment-free, joy-first spaces for parents of children with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). Lala shares why so many SEND parents only get invited to “serious” rooms (tribunals, workshops, advocacy) and how she’s flipping the script: nights out where mums and dads can feel free, be seen, and remember who they are beyond the label “carer.” We dig into mum-guilt, the pressure to be “on” 24/7, and why sometimes the bravest act is putting the cape down.

Together we unpack neurodiversity, communication, and expectations — from the myth of “disobedience” to how kids actually process the world. Lala gets real about raising two very different boys, backing their individual paths (football, business, creativity) and building networks early. Nyah opens up about therapy, emotional literacy, and designing tools like Trybe so handing over childcare — allergies, routines, comfort items — feels safer and lighter. If you’ve ever needed permission to breathe, laugh, and feel supported, this one’s for you.

This week on Trybe Talks, Nyah sits down with Poet—creative, presenter, and father of twins—to talk about building platforms like Filthy Fellas, HC Pod, and Gasworks while learning what real responsibility looks like. From years working in youth services to co-producing culture-defining shows, Poet shares how putting others first prepared him for fatherhood long before his boys arrived.

He gets candid about co-parenting, custody hurdles, and why he refuses the “broken dad” narrative. For Poet, parenting isn’t a “problem” to solve; it’s a responsibility to accept—then build a life around. Instead of overcompensating with hype outings, he focuses on normal moments: breakfasts, movie nights, and safe spaces that steady his sons’ minds. He also speaks directly to creatives who become parents unexpectedly: accept the new normal, live for yourself and your kids, and don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know”—then learn together.

If you’ve ever felt torn between your craft and your kids, this conversation will reset your compass. It’s honest, practical, and full of the kind of lived wisdom parents actually use.

This week on Trybe Talks, Nyah sits down with Sharon Weise-Nesbeth — co-founder of Steer 24, strategist, mentor, and mum — to trace her journey from agency “gofer” to senior leadership in global financial services. Sharon opens up about claiming her seat when she was often the only Black woman in the room, the power of sponsors, and why courage and preparation beat fancy titles every time.

They dive into parenting while building a career — the village that made it possible, why mum-guilt hit differently with her daughter at the peak of her career, and the life-recalibrating moment of her husband’s cancer diagnosis. Sharon shares how she redefined success—less about titles and more about health, family, impact—and why she launched Steer 24 to help women in transition rebuild confidence, networks, and careers. She also champions female health at work (“Leading While Bleeding”) and the flexibility women need to show up and stay in the game.

If you’re navigating ambition, identity, and family in seasons that keep shifting, this conversation is a masterclass in breaking barriers without breaking yourself.
