Sugarcoat The Podcast

E12 - Meet the Skinfiltrator!

Welcome to episode 12 of #SugarcoatThePodcast! I'm joined by Monique aka Skinfiltrator to discuss all things skin and the world of content creation. We've had a few content creators/influencers on the podcast but in this episode we delve into the business side of things - finding good management to avoid the influencer pay gap, creating content while going through depressive episodes and choosing brand deals that don't jeopardise your integrity! This episode was filmed around Valentine's Day so listen to hear about my pathetic Valentine's Day and a VERY wild one for Monique. Hosted by me, Hayaat (@hayaat_nk).

E11 - Failure, Apps and Living Your Raps

After a little hiatus, I am back with episode 11 of #SugarcoatThePodcast and I am joined by Ndouri! On this episode we discuss the apps - both dating apps and those corporate applications and failure in both areas with some lessons we learned along the way. We also discuss the idea of living your raps and how sometimes, we can admittedly be inconsistent with it, especially when it comes to cancelled artists. Hosted by me, Hayaat (@hayaat_nk).

EP9 - 20 Something (Sugarcoat Hurts)

Our first crossover episode (and a two part one at that)! This episode which is part 1 in the crossover between Sugarcoat The Podcast and relationship and sex podcast, Chirpse Hurts is one where we get deep! Unfortunately this is solely audio due to a different studio being used but it’s for the best because we almost got emotional at times loool. In this episode recorded on the eve of SZA’s S.O.S drop we discuss the concept of being 20 Something (also the name of her song from her debut album CTRL) and cover a magnitude of topics from being messy and making mistakes, religious trauma, being a good person and forgiving yourself. Tune in for a special ep hosted by myself (@hayaat_nk) and Chirpse Host co-hosts Glow (@glowiny) and Shar (@sharloola).

EP8 - Beauty Politics pt 1: Face Your Frontal

On episode 8 of #SugarcoatThePodcast I sit down with a Sugarcoat fav Femi and newbie Abibat, natural hair influencer and tiktokker. We discuss the viral TikTok Abibat made regarding the typical Black British look women typically sport where she urges women to consider whether they adhere to the aesthetic because of genuine desire or pressure to align with what is popular. Given the ruckus it made across social media, Abibat clarifies her intention and opens the floor for Femi and I to give our two cents. Hosted by me, Hayaat (@hayaat_nk).

EP7 - Diary of a (6th Form) College Dropout

For this episode of #SugarcoatThePodcast I’m joined by Caleb Kumiko, 6th form college dropout turned director and screenwriter! Caleb discusses his journey into his career from the decision-making process behind leaving 6th form to his first job in the industry on the popular Youtube show, Bad Canteen produced by the controversial company, Kyra TV. Hosted by me, Hayaat (@hayaat_nk).
