EP 10 : You speak well for a black girl?

Welcome to Episode 10. In this episode, I unpack the microaggression behind “you speak well for a Black girl,” why overpraising Black women can actually reveal bias, and what it says about society’s expectations of us.

EP 8: Some of you are turning into the Toxic Aunties we used to hate!

Hey guys,Welcome to Episode 8. Today I chat about a trend I've been noticing recently amongst young African diaspora women in the west, where toxic auntie-esque behaviour has began to creep in as we get older.

EP 2: Daddy, I’ve got issues!

Welcome to Episode 2! In this episode, I dive into the topic of "Daddy Issues"—exploring what the term means, how it's often used to demean women, the stigmas attached to it, and the cultural and religious influences surrounding it. I also share my personal experiences and how I’ve worked through them. I don’t believe that women with “daddy issues” are “defective,” despite society’s best efforts to make us feel that way. Growing up in a broken home doesn’t doom you to a life of hardship or mean you deserve any less. Remember, these are just my thoughts and personal journey and please be sure to refer qualified professionals and materials from credible sources for any serious advice ❤️ Ekaete x Pieces of work I mentioned: I May Destroy You (TV series) Queenie (Book & TV series) Rocks (Film)
