EP 19 - "S***hole" Africa

In This Episode:

I woke up a few days ago to hear that some certain individual, had referred to my beautiful continent Africa and Haiti as a s***hole continent and country.

Instead of getting angry, I decided to respond with positivity. Which is what I have decided to do all of 2018. I will not give power to people who try to bring me down, and that’s exactly what we African’s need to do too.

I’m proudly African, and I love my s***hole continent!

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.
