"Some of us are mommies of children, some of us are mommies of angels, and some of us are mommies of both. We are all mommies."  -Alycia de Lucio 

This episode is nothing short of an amazing testimony. My guest Kikelomo shares her journey to motherhood, which was fraught with difficult diagnoses and unimaginable loss. Her story is one that may not be unique, but it is rarely shared publicly. With such candor, she shares this deeply personal story, the good, the bad, and the ugly. By sharing her story, Kikelomo hopes that other women will be brave enough to share their own stories, and that those who need help will seek it out. The good news is, the story ends in praise. All glory to God!

In this episode, Baba Agba gives us a lens into the world of cinema and storytelling. He shares his insight into the democratization of the camera and how the art, emotion, and magic of storytelling is why artificial intelligence can never take over the filmmaking industry. He  also shares a lot on the importance of developing the systems and structures and how both non-industry and industry folks have a role in ensuring the promotion and preservation of art, and see the creative industry in Nigeria thrive.

Sola inspires and encourages all to intentionally live a life of purpose, stay committed to one’s goals and also travel a lot, preferably with your best friend and in his case - his wife, even as life gives you lemons.

“No amount of talking about sex is going to diminish the mystery of the experience of it. Sex is Sacred, Not Secret.”― Christine Laplante, LMHC

In this episode, Yeside Agbola talks to us about the need to talk about sex - openly and starting from a young age, including toddlers, appropriately of course. Yeside educates on sexual health, the many types of intimacy and the distortion of porn - talking directly to the men. She shares some interesting statistics and discusses the ABCD’s of HIV/AIDs Prevention. She also discusses why shame and stigma related to sex can help improve our sexual health. We also talk about sex and abortion in light of the christian view. Yeside is unashamedly pro- women and she leaves us with one last word on the value of female friendships.
