🎀 In this episode:

Singer-songwriter and British Podcast Award finalist Gigi opens up about the extraordinary twists in her life β€” from being sent from South London to Nigeria as a child, to facing years of pain from Crohn’s disease, to hearing the words no one ever expects: β€œWe think it’s cancer.”


πŸ’« This is a story of shock, resilience and self-belief β€” of learning to take control when everything feels lost. Gigi shares how she reversed her illness, rebuilt her life, and found healing through her music and her voice.
