How Did You Get Here with Verastic
Short story: Those who are doing it do not have two heads. Long story: Welcome to How Did You Get Here with Verastic - the podcast where real people share real stories about the winding, messy, hilarious, and sometimes miraculous journeys that got them here . No fluff, and no curated Instagram perfection. Just raw, authentic conversations that inspire you to believe that if they can do it, so can you. As our Nigerian parents loved to remind us: Those who are doing it do not have two heads. Translation? The people you admire aren’t superheroes; they’re humans with struggles, detours, wild stori...

EP 7: How To Discover (And Harness) Your Feminine Energy ft. Ekene Onu 20.04.2020 1:41:50
It's not every day that one gets to have a conversation about how to discover your feminine energy with the dynamic feminine success coach, Ekene Onu. She's a whole lot of woman. She is as wise as she is graceful, and she seems to do it all so effortlessly. I don't know how she does it, but I do know that she is one of us, and I have met her in person, so I know for sure that she do...
EP 6: How I Adopted My Daughters ft. Nkem Akinsoto 13.04.2020 1:48:54
In today’s episode, Nkem Akinsoto – AKA Myne Whitman – has graced us with her virtual presence and her wealth of knowledge on the subject of adoption, especially when it comes to adopting in Nigeria. I had heard before that adoption was expensive, but I assumed that adopting in Nigeria (or at least outside America) would be cheaper because you’d convert the dollars to the local currency. Nkem’s st...
EP 5: On Being The Youngest Black Man To Own A Cannabis Dispensary ft. Seun Adedeji 06.04.2020 55:33
Seun Adedeji, youngest Black man to own a cannabis dispensary. And he's African, too? And he's Nigerian? Hot damn. So, I sought him out, and I reached out to him, and I begged him to be a guest on the I Am African podcast, and he obliged me generously. I was so impressed with Seun Adedeji. He's 26 years old, and he's wise, and he has foresight, and I am proud that he's one...
EP 4: On Women Owning Their Sexual Desires ft. Duchess Iphie 30.03.2020 1:31:19
As an African woman who was raised by African parents, I was never taught to be comfortable with sex, and I was definitely not told about women owning their sexual desires. What sexual desires??? Sex was always this taboo thing that you were only allowed to think of after marriage. And even then, it was a man's thing, a thing that a wife gave her husband whenever he asked for it. I was never...
EP 3: How My Intuition Saved Me From My Marriage 23.03.2020 42:12
What does your intuition sound like to you? It sounds like the voice of God to me. It sounds to me like God nudging me, telling me where to go and how to get there. And that's why my intuition saved my life. This episode shares in great detail the many times my intuition saved my life. This episode mentions the story about how my marriage ended, and you can read that story in full here . Let&...
EP 2: Side Chics' Lives Matter 16.03.2020 34:10
It's okay to laugh at the title. I laughed at it too when I conceived of the idea. Did you watch that video that was circulating around last week and the week before of a woman physically attacking her husband's alleged side chic and asking her who she thought she was to be having anal sex with her husband? Yeah, that video inspired this episode. And then, there was the thing about Bill...
EP1: For This Divorce, I Prayed 09.03.2020 26:39
Do people pray for divorce? I don't know if they do. I know people pray for love, and for health, and for life, and for marriage, and for children, and for money. I don't know if people pray for divorce, but I know I did. I prayed for divorce fervently. And I prayed for my peace to return to me. I did not know the value of my peace until I did not have it anymore. As promised, here'...
