Very often you hear girls especially talk about the one that got away. My question for you is did he really get away or did God take him away? Did he get away or did you pray him away? Did he really get away or did you start listening to yourself Did he really get away or did you learn to prioritize yourself and your self importance? did he really get away or did you start to center yourself and w...

It’s not just rent and bills. It’s data, fuel, food that finishes in two days, “urgent 20k” texts, aso-ebi you didn’t plan for, and somehow… you’re still expected to be saving. One minute you’re proud of yourself for earning, next minute you’re wondering where everything went. This episode is just me being honest about that in-between stage where you’re trying, you’re responsible, but life still f...

There’s so much happening, especially in Northern Nigeria right now. The kidnappings. The killings. The quiet fear we’ve all learned to live with. And in the middle of all that, we’re online talking about soft life. In this episode, I’m thinking out loud about what it really means to want softness in a country that demands toughness from you every day. Is soft life delusion? Is it privilege? Or is...

Ramadan is already here. The fasts have started. The routines are shifting. And maybe you’re feeling focused… or maybe you’re feeling behind.

We’re talking about worship versus performance, the quiet pressure many women carry, the...

January 1st comes with a lot of noise. Pressure to become. Pressure to perform. Pressure to start again, perfectly. In this episode, I’m choosing honesty instead. I talk about entering a new year without pretending to be brand new, redefining aspirations so they don’t cost you yourself, and what it means to live deliberately in a world that rewards urgency, especially here in Nigeria. This is a qu...

Whether it’s policing women’s bodies or narratives or threat of invasion, it’s the same playbook oppressors are using to manipulate the oppressed. When women speak, someone tries to shut them up. When Nigeria stands on its own, someone else suddenly wants to “save” us. It’s all control disguised as concern. Let’s talk about it.

On this episode I discuss most things ableism and I hope in listening to me, you can reflectively look inward and examine yourself. Ask yourself the deep questions, have you been ableist?

Until when will you keep using the excuse of time to keep receiving the treatment you don’t deserve? - Let’s talk about it. - This episode is sponsored he Scath Company a modern co-working and innovation hub in Kaduna offering workspaces, mentorship, and support for startups and creatives.

Sometimes I wonder if men can ever truly be feminists. Not because they don’t care but because they’ll never know. Feminism isn’t just theory; it’s lived. It’s the fear, the silence, the fight, and the constant demand to be seen as human. I don’t need men to call themselves feminists. I just need them to act like they believe women are fully human. 🎙️ New episode: Can Men Really Be Feminists? #Mus...

Let’s talk independence and everything in-between…

On this episode we talk of the idea of “home” and how home isn’t always safe or flourishing for everyone. The idea that we all end up the same or follow each other’s footsteps can be so stifling because in doing that we end up limiting ourselves. I am challenging the girl that has always felt different and unheard to find her version of home. It can be a physical home or a mindset. You may need to...
