S2E9 | Friendship without Borders

As we mature through life, we realize that creating genuine and long-lasting friendships is a hard task. The current social terrain tells us to let people go when they are not meeting our “energy”. Olaoluwa and Seun share the history of their friendship, navigating hurt, vulnerability, boundaries, and communication, and share their differing views on the importance of shared values. You should watch out for their paramilitary service road trip experience. This conversation was laced with a lot of vibes, laughter, and grace.  Seun is a mom and wife of one. She says her side hustle is working with an international bank and her main job of being a homemaker.

S2E8 | Academic Pathways as an Immigrant

It’s one thing to be an immigrant, but when you add the reality of being a student to the mix, it’s a whole new ball game. In today’s episode, we discuss the power of intentionality, the impact of faith in academics, overcoming challenges as an immigrant student, and the importance of community amongst other things. Even if you are not in academia, you definitely still want to listen to Olumide and his journey. You will for sure learn a thing or two.  Olumide is a young scholar who loves exploring new spaces.

S2E7 | Faith in a Gen Z World

If anything, we can all agree Gen Z is one generation that has its ears full. Everyone has opinions on their work ethics, their tech abilities, and amongst others, their expression of faith. Our guest on today’s episode not just represents her generation but represents her faith in the most wholesome way. Dara reminds us of the most important aspect of our faith, the foundation. You don’t have to be a Gen Z to be blessed by this episode. Dara and Olaoluwa give a brief insight into their life as PKs aka Pastor’s Kid.  Dara is a big Jesus lover and a student at Oregon State, studying child development, education, and sociology. She is passionate about children and plans to teach and provide representation for children of color & children with disabilities. Dara wants to display God’s love and light to these kids.

S2E6 | (Long Distance) Relationships: A side of Both Worlds

Kenny not only got vulnerable with us on this episode but leaves us waiting for another episode. Hearing God tell you if a person is “right” for you is not the end, we must also continually submit to the Holy Spirit to change us from the inside to be better partners in our relationship. Kenny and Olaoluwa share their experiences of being in long distance relationship - particularly the pros and cons.  Kenny is a devoted believer, whose unwavering faith in God shapes her perspective and guides her actions. She moved from Nigeria to the US for her Master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Georgia and now lives in the vibrant city of Atlanta, Georgia, where she shares her life with her incredible husband and their adorable 2-year-old son. Kenny's professional journey has led her to a fulfilling role as a technical implementation consultant at a software privacy company. Her role involves leveraging her technical expertise to assist clients in effectively implementing privacy solutions. Outside of work, she enjoys singing, writing, and spending time with her lovely family. Kenny strives to positively impact her environment and spread the fragrance of the love of Christ to those around her.
