EP 79 : I'm Already Not At Home ft Matilda Bakare

Matilda Bakare is amongst the best people to have adopted me into the podcast family since we became acquainted. Matilda is not your average Nigerian-born mechanical engineer, neither is she your average podcaster. In this episode, we explore home, Nigerian music, Canadian adjusting, Anti-Blackness, food, and more. Matilda is one of the co-hosts of Africalypso, a fun-filled superb podcast hosted by three amazing women. I was fortunate to have been a guest back in March. Check them out in the link below!

Enjoy this celebrated connector, international developer, and social changemakers story so far.

EP 75: If You Aren't Hungry For Justice, You Are Full of Privilege ft Uchechukwu Onwa

This was a long-overdue episode. This might be one of the deepest 
It is often said that "heroes don't always wear capes," Uchechukwu Onwa is proof that we do not require a cape or uniform before stepping up and doing what is right. This man has been through a lot and I mean a lot, yet he continues to shine the light and fight for that which is right. Uche also provides help to Queer immigrants, helping make settling easier for them. Nigeria the country of my birth is not a safe place for a Queer person who isn't from a wealthy family. This man navigated a very hostile environment before coming over to the United States (which isn't Uhuru). This is an American story that we all need to hear.
 
Uchechukwu is a co-director at qderp.org You can also find Uche on Facebook under his name, on Instagram @famousval992 & @famousvalcouture Go check out his designs.

EP 74: Kenyan Plug American Story ft Shiro

I did not endorse Danko the former governor of Nairobi in this episode. Shiro is a sister of this podcast and mine. A woman with an amazing story that takes off in Nakuru, and is a version of the American story that is without a doubt the main reason for why this podcast exists. I love this woman's dedication, energy, tenacity, and vibe. Please check out and support her podcast too. Shiro is also a superb entrepreneur!

After our first #blindian couple on last week's episode. What better than having a second couple that's #blindian and our first couple from  Canada.

EP 71: Little Glass of Water On a Large Table ft The Carrolls

Ruksana and Wayne Carroll are the first Blindian couple to bless this podcast with their awesomeness. I love the authenticity and energy that this couple brings with them. I became an admirer after seeing husband and wife on the #blindianproject (video available on Ruksana and Wayne's YouTube channel). I can't wait for when things calm down and the Carrolls show up for us to go eat Nigerian cuisine together along with myself going across the river to try some amazing Indian cuisine. A great conversation covering family, food, love, religion, and so more. It's refreshing to have an Interracial relationship that's just fresh!

EP 70: Passion Will Give You Authenticity ft Sarah Haruna Moda

It's an honor to have a woman who I have known since my virgin days on the internet who has always been an inspiration along with an example for friendship, motherhood, boss levels, philanthropy, and all-around awesomeness as the guest for this episode. Sarah Haruna Moda is also from a part of Nigeria that even those born in Nigeria are not familiar with or easily mischaracterize due to seeds sown since the days of colonialism. In this episode we shall be introduced to her childhood, her community, language, and so much more. I learned a lot, and I hope that you will too.
Sarah is also the founder and CEO of Yarang Llamisi Foundation, changing the narrative in women's education, mental health, sex education, and so much more in two countries across two continents.
