How To Discover Your Feminine Energy ft. Ekene Onu (I Am African Podcast #7)

It's not every day that one gets to have a conversation about how to discover your feminine energy with the dynamic feminine success coach, Ekene Onu. She's a whole lot of woman. She is as wise as she is graceful, and she seems to do it all so effortlessly.

How I Adopted My Daughters ft. Nkem Akinsoto (I Am African Podcast #6)

I spent too long thinking about how to start this podcast, but during my thinking period, one thing I knew for sure was that I wanted to have conversations that matter, conversations that would transform lives and bring value - like conversations about how to adopt children in Nigeria. So far, I am so proud of the content I have been able to produce through this platform. Yes, I know we're only 6 episodes in, but the trajectory makes me happy.

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
