Story Story : Journey In Canada with Zarita & Charles

Hello hello! Welcome to a special episode on Sababisha! My name is Chelsea and today I’m joined by Zarita, George (you might know him), and Charles as we share our journeys in Canada. We went back to those first moments of arrival, when everything felt new and overwhelming. We laughed about the culture shocks that caught us off guard, reflected on the realities of navigating race in a new country, and shared the joy and growth that has come with building a life in Toronto. These stories are deeply personal, but they’re also familiar to so many Afrikans who have made the same journey. They remind us of the challenges we’ve faced, the resilience we’ve built, and the small but beautiful victories that come with creating a home away from home. This episode is more than just a conversation. It’s a glimpse into what we’re building with Story Story: An Afrikan Storytelling Experience in Toronto, curated by me (Chelsea) and Zarita. Story Story is a space where Afrikans can come together, share openly, and feel the power of being heard. Whether your an Afrikan that's been in Canada for a short time or many many years, Story Story is for you. Come ready to listen, laugh, and maybe even share your own story. Join us for Story Story on September 20th at the WhiteBoardCollective on 1212 Kingston Rd from 2PM-6PM. This event is part of Culture Days, a celebration of arts and culture in Canada between September to October.

Across Borders Through The Lens with Willy The Photographer

Welcome back to Sababisha, where conversation lives in the space between what is and what could be. We’re deep into Season 3 now—Episode 5 or 6 depending on who’s counting—but really, who’s counting? Over 50 episodes in, and it still feels like we’re just getting started. See, the world isn’t just changing. It’s shifting—socially, politically, even spiritually. We’re seeing it on our timelines, in our governments, in the little choices people make every day. What happens when digital jokes become public wounds? When left and right start to blur? When personal becomes political—and back again? Joining us today is someone who’s lived these questions from behind the lens—William Musila, a photographer and storyteller whose work bridges Nairobi and Toronto. He sees the world in frames, but doesn’t shy away from the full picture. We hope you enjoy listening to this episode and hit us in the comments, tell us what you think.

A Discussion On Kenyan History

Welcome back, dear listener, to a special Black History Month edition of Sababisha! This episode is a repost of a past conversation that we first shared as a live video on our Instagram and YouTube channels. It was such a meaningful discussion that we wanted to bring it back for those who may have missed it and also as a contribution to Black History Month—or for anyone who wants to revisit this deep dive into Kenyan history. Join hosts Chelsea and George, along with guest host Alex, as we journey through Kenya’s captivating history from the 1500s to the 1930s. We explore the resilience and tenacity of our people, from ancient civilizations to the early colonial encounters, uncovering lessons that still resonate today.

Dating In The Diaspora with Natalie

Dating in the diaspora is a whole different experience, and today, we’re diving into it with our guest, Natalie. Since moving to Canada, she’s been navigating love and romance in a new culture, and in this episode, George and I sit down with her to talk about how dating here compares to back home in Kenya. From unexpected surprises to lessons learned along the way, it’s a short but sweet conversation about connection, culture, and the realities of finding love abroad. Let’s get into it!

50 Episodes In!!

We’ve made it—Sababisha’s 50th episode. It’s a big milestone, and I just want to take a moment to say thank you. This journey has been full of growth, challenges, and incredible conversations, and I couldn’t have done it without you. Today, George and I are looking back at how far we’ve come, sharing the lessons we’ve learned, and talking about what’s next. But we’re also diving into the world around us. First, we get into Young, Famous & African—specifically, 2Face and Annie Idibia. Their relationship has sparked so many conversations about love, loyalty, and the price of fame. We break down the highs, the struggles, and what their story says about relationships in the public eye. Then, we turn our focus to something much more urgent—the ongoing crisis in Congo. It’s a story that isn’t getting enough attention, but it should be. We discuss what’s happening, why it matters, and the impact it’s having on millions of lives. This episode is a mix of reflection, real talk, and a deeper look at the world around us. So settle in, and let’s get into it—welcome to episode 50 of Sababisha.
