The With Abang! Podcast

Hey guys!

Happy Monday! In this episode I finally talk about something that I've been trying to share for months but never got around to recording: the start of my journey into modelling! I talk about certain parts of my childhood, my history with the performance arts, some struggles with rejection, and how I eventually got signed to my agency. This episode features my wonderful mother who gives us some of her perspective on things and helped me remember a lot of details. If you're reading this, "thanks mom!!!" This is quite a story, but God got us through and I hope it can encourage anyone who's facing rejection or unsure of their path to keep going and trust that God will work it all out. If something is meant for you, you wont miss out on it!

p.s. I don't have time to drop the YouTube video, but that's coming latest by tomorrow! xo

Hey guys! It's September!

Happy Academic New Year to all the students out there! It's been a while, but I hope you've been doing well :)

In this episode I talk about 2 books that have literally changed my life in the past month, and how I feel as though my life has been forced to slow down (in a good way). I hope that this episode can encourage someone to allow themselves to rest sometimes, and take time to reflect on what's taking place internally instead of being distracted by external noise. If you guys would prefer to watch this episode it's also available on my YouTube channel.

I have to give Josiah Hyacinth a huge huge shoutout. He's the reason I read the books and he inspired me to go back to recording again. If you haven't already make sure to listen to his podcast 5 More Mins w/ Josiah Hyacinth and subscribe to his mailing list. It literally changed my life for the better and I hope it does the same for you. Love you guys and see you next week!

On today's episode I am joined by plus size model and influencer, Kaity aka @kmw_plus on Instagram!

I recently had the opportunity of meeting her at Reitman's campaign and was captivated by her vibrant energy on set. I knew immediately that I needed to hear her story. Kaity takes us through how she started her journey, came into her own,  and overcame many obstacles along the way, the biggest of all being her height. Despite being 5'3" Kaity has booked campaigns, walked runways, and is living proof that you can achieve anything if you just keep working hard and believing.

Happy Easter Monday y'all!

As we celebrated the resurrection of Christ this past weekend I took some time to reflect on my relationship with God. I told myself that I would be anchored in Christ but it's been a back and forth battle to say rooted in His Word. However, I recently had to come to terms with something important:

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast" 

( Ephesians 2:8-9 )

You don't need to be perfect, you don't need to do all the right things because grace is a gift, it is undeserved.

Christ who was perfect died, so that I don't have to be :)

In this premiere episode of The With Abang Podcast, I went into my archives and pulled out an episode I recorded in November 2020. This episode started out as a joke, but turned out to be a great discussion with my friend Fikayo about finding love in our family and friends as well as battling struggles with loneliness. Enjoy! :)
