I was so excited to speak to Seun. There I was, mindlessly scrolling through LinkedIn when I came across an article about the youngest Black man to own a cannabis dispensary. I would have continued scrolling too, but I spied the name of this young Black man, and I recognized its origin, and I was immediately filled with pride. 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 Read More

On Women Owning Their Sexual Desires ft. Duchess Iphie (I Am African Podcast #4)
This week's episode is my first one with a guest, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We talked about women owning their sexual desires, and this conversation is especially important for the African woman. Maybe it's different for you, but for me, I only recently started learning what my sexual desires are. I thought I knew, but it turns out, I did not really know. The older I get, the more comfortable I get with myself, the more I know myself, and the more I know what I don't like in every area of my Read More

Although I have always known it, Funmie also always confirms it. It's the intelligence of my Sweet Potatoes. Una get sense die. And although I cannot prove it, I'd like to take credit for it. No, not taking credit for your intelligence, but taking credit for attracting intelligent readers. Whether you agree with me or not, I have taken this credit, and it helps me sleep better at night.

How My Intuition Saved My Life (I Am African Podcast #3)
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. A lot of times, when things are happening, you don't understand why they're happening, but then, when that phase is over, you are able to go back, analyze everything, and finally understand why certain things had to happen. In my case, my intuition had me feeling crazy. I did not know why I Read More
I Am African Podcast #2: Side Chics’ Lives Matter
Episode 2 of the I Am African Podcast is no longer something I'm dreaming of; it's here!!! 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 Clinton Read More
30 Types Of Coworkers You’ll Meet At Every Job (Which One Are You?)
There are 30 types of coworkers that you'll most likely meet at every job. I came to America when I was 15. I got my first job ever when I was 16. Since then, I have worked in different industries, from food to human services to IT, and so many in between, so naturally, I have met so many kinds of coworkers. First of all, I want to give myself a huge pat on the back for compiling this list all by myself. I did not Google a thing! Although now I'm tempted to because I'm sure there are Read More
