EP 33 - BEING PROUD OF YOUR WORK
In This Episode:
Having lived in Nigeria for over 30 years, I visited the USA quite a lot and I had this impression about what kinds of jobs are considered prestigious or not.
However, after living in the USA for some years, my mindset has totally changed. I have come to the realization that as long as the work you are doing is legal, there is no such thing as prestigious work when it comes to making money, paying your bills and taking care of your family.
The American system makes sure that as long as you have a certain amount of money, you are able to have the necessities and live a certain kind of lifestyle.

EP 32 - The 4c Natural Hair
In This Episode:
There has been a lot of controversy around 'Natural Hair' and how you choose to wear it or protect it.
Some black women seem to think that other black women who choose to wear wigs and do several different protective styles do not 'embrace their kink and curls'.
So I decided to share my thoughts on this issue. I hope to hear from you after you listen

EP 31 - American Schools
In This Episode:
A lot of American School Students are very privileged and sometimes, I think some take it for granted. We have some very great schools in Africa, but a majority of the schools, especially those funded by the government; aren’t the best.
So you can imagine my shock when I hear that some students in this First World Country complained about ‘their rights being violated, and the school authorities not caring about them’ because their SODAS had been reduced, and they were given more vegetables at their FREE lunch.
Sometimes people need to see what others are going through in other parts of the world so that they can value where they are and the privileges they have.
