A little bit of Everything

Just us girls

Welcome to the girls’ emergency meeting. In this episode, we’re having an honest girls’ talk about the little things nobody really teaches us about womanhood, feminine hygiene, period care and self-care. From pads, tampons and menstrual cups to shaving before your period, peeing after sex, cotton underwear, skincare breaks, breast checks, period cramps, heating pads, vaginal/vulva care and the tiny habits that make life easier we’re talking about it all. We’re also discussing things we learned late, random hygiene tips that actually help, listening to your body, and why your vagina is not supposed to smell like roses. If you love honest conversations about girlhood, women’s health, hygiene, self-care and all the unspoken things girls should know, this episode is for you.

This One Is for the Girlies

This episode is basically me minding everybody’s business. But seriously, I spent this one shouting out amazing girls and their businesses because being a girl’s girl is not just motivational quotes on Instagram support your people. Whether it’s clothes, food, beauty, accessories, or random cute things you absolutely don’t need but somehow still need, this episode is my little way of saying, please patronize women around you. Support your girls. Hype your girls. Buy from your girls. And be a girls girl

A Country That Keeps Failing Its People

In this episode, I talk about a tragic story that has been sitting heavily on my mind, a secondary school student who reportedly lost his life after falling into a reservoir while trying to fetch water. It made me reflect on the state of things around us, the realities many people are forced to live with, and how normalized suffering has become in this country. At some point, “May Nigeria not happen to me” stopped sounding like a joke and started sounding like a genuine prayer. I also talk about exams, the stress that comes with lecturers saying one thing and setting another, and the mental exhaustion that follows trying to stay prepared for the unexpected. And finally, I ask for your prayers for me, my friends, and my course mates as we continue writing our exams.

For Once, It Wasn’t Too Much

In this episode, I talk about a surprisingly soft and eventful week. It started with a birthday celebration that honestly began with a very questionable cake… so bad I had to get another one, but somehow, we ended up with three cakes and a lot of enjoyment. Then came Father’s Day, where we went home to surprise my dad, and let’s just say… it was a soft moment. He didn’t expect it at all, and it meant a lot more than I thought it would. Somewhere in between all of that, I also talk about exams what I’ve written so far and what’s still ahead. It’s a mix of small chaos, soft moments, and real life… as usual.

Love, Hurt & Everything In Between (Friendship Edition)

Before anything… this video wasn’t recorded when you’re watching it. I’m currently writing exams, so please say a word of prayer for me because I need it like mad. In this episode, I dive into something I’ve talked about before, but this time… it’s personal. I asked my roommates what I should talk about, and friendship came up and while I’ve shared my thoughts in Girl Friendships: A Whole Lot, this episode is different. This time, I’m talking about real experiences… the ones that actually hurt. From moments where I felt dismissed, to situations where I had to question what friendship really means, to learning the hard way that you can’t expect people to be you, I unpack it all. I talk about the difference between friends and acquaintances, the importance (and difficulty) of communication, reciprocity, and knowing when to let go especially when you’re holding on to who someone used to be. There’s also a bit of chaos, growth, self-reflection, and accountability, because I’m not perfect either. At the end of it all, this episode is about what friendship should feel like peace, love, understanding, and honesty and the kind of friend we should all strive to be. And again… please don’t forget to say a prayer for me.
