EP 43 - The Relationship Between India and Africa

In This Episode: 

I was watching a documentary with my husband a while ago, and we were shocked to see an Indian and an African getting married. 

I have always wondered why it’s so rare to find such a union. Is there some underlying issue between Indians and Africans? 

We have so much in common, so why is there such a great divide?

EP 5 - HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY NIGERIA

In This Episode:

I have never admitted it publicly, but for a while I have had this love/hate feeling for MY country, Nigeria. From the place to the people, I just couldn’t deal with it. BUT, that feeling didn’t last very long becuase honestly, I REALLY DO LOVE MY COUNTRY! There are so many experiences and opportunities I have today that I won’t trade for anything in this world, because it’s a big part of who I am.

That’s why in honor of our Independence Day (1st of October), I decided to dedicate this episode to my country. I am going to share with you, all the amazing things that I love about Nigeria.
