  • Dear Zakilo
    Lately, more than normal, I have been imagining what it would be like to call my dad up and just fill him in on my life. This week’s topic is titled Dear Zakilo. In it, I tell my dad the 5 re-occuring themes in my life at the moment.

    For me, this episode was almost liberating. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording. Let me know what you think. Where there any themes that you see occurring in your lives? I love to hear from you, so please message me, comment, etc.

  • Growing Pains
    “You do the best you can with what you have and end up where you were supposed to be.” This weeks episode was just an excuse for me to rant on where I am at. I have been going through a lot of transitions in the past 10 months or like my friend Timi called it “growing pains.”

    I am forever grateful for the opportunity to do this, and have people actually listen and care about what I have to say so thank you!.

    My only question/thought for you this week is: Is there anyone listening to this that can relate to these feelings? If so, please hit me up and let me know!
    As usual, I hope you enjoy listening, as much as I enjoyed recording. Don’t forget to like, comment and subscribe.

  • Where is The Manual?
    🗣🗣 New episode alert: a discussion on rape culture in Nigeria.

    So I had a completely different topic planned for this week. However, while using instagram on my study breakI stumbled upon Busola Dakolo’s story. Ofcourse that sent me on into a rabbit hole which left me dumbfounded and very angry to be honest. So hence the topic change.

    Wondering why the title? Why don’t you listen to find out!

  • Here Comes the Bride
    🗣🗣 New episode alert: So I am in my 20’s, is it time to marry? 🤷🏾🤷🏾

    I have titled this week’s episode: here comes the bride. On it I discuss something that has been pressing on my mind over the past few weeks - Marriage. Or I guess more so the idea of marriage, rather than the act itself. I am from a culture that measures a woman’s success by her marital status and her ability to procreate. Now, in this day and age, we have seen the rise of the independent woman (this is where I ask you if you have listened to episode 1 yet? 🙅🏾). Women have put marriage and children on the back burner while they pursue their dreams. But with family pressures, instagram handles and wedding invitations. The question becomes how does a woman combat societal and internal pressures. What does this rise mean for the measurement of a woman’s success in society?

    I hope you enjoy listening, as much as I enjoyed recording. Don’t forget to like, comment and subscribe. Remember! this podcast is also available on Apple podcasts and Spotify.

    No particular questions for this week. I just want to hear from YOU! Continue to have his conversation by discussing the topic with friends or with ME!!:

  • Dear Former Self
    🗣🗣 New episode alert: FINALLY! I know this is late.. I know.. I know… BUT life! Editing is not fun! haha

    On this week’s episode with help from my beautiful guests, we tackle the idea of conversing with your inner child; specifically our 13 year old selfs. As I continue on this journey of “adulthood,” slowly becoming the woman I believe I destined to be, I am constantly confronted with my past: decisions made, paths chosen, etc. I chose this topic, because I believe as we reflect on our pasts in preparation for the future, we must continue to be kind to our inner child, who is the ultimately the foundation for who we become. :)

    P.S We changed venues for this episode, it was recorded on my bedroom floor with my phone. Mostly because the studio is far lol, but also I guess we were trying to keep it chill and personal :)

    I hope you enjoy listening, as much as I enjoyed recording. And again special thanks to Amman and Irene for taking this journey with me. Don’t forget to like, comment and subscribe. Remember! this podcast is also available on Apple podcasts and Spotify.

    I only have 1 question for you lovely people this week *swipe left*.

  • The Beauty of the Shift
    🗣🗣 New episode alert: On this week’s episode I talk about the beauty of the shift. What shift? Why don’t you listen and find out.

    In the spirit of complete transparency. I was feeling kind of (very) insecure and vulnerable after recording. And I really do not like feeling vulnerable lol. I think it is because I wasn’t using my notes as a crutch, I kind of just went wild lol. Thank God for friends who give you good feedback in the middle of the night.

    On the plus side, I am finally getting comfortable in the studio! *happy dance*

    All in all, I am so grateful for the scary and fulfilling journey that I am currently on, finding my voice and my purpose.
