    A Nourishing Change: A Vegan Journey with Zuu

    A Nourishing Change: A Vegan Journey with Zuu

    On this episode, Zuu and I discuss his journey as a vegan and a vegan content creator. Being someone who consumes his content, It was a delight speaking to him and shedding more light on what he does as a vegan content creator because I believe he has a relatable voice within the space of vegan content creation in Ghana and beyond. If you're someone flirting with the idea of a vegan lifestyle or someone who is already on their vegan journey this is worth the watch.

    Season 2 is very exciting as the podcast is being sponsored by NewComma, a social media platform for Black + African creatives to share their work, find jobs and events. This is an exciting collaboration as some of CTN’s pillars are to share stories of black and African creatives as well create an awareness of creative jobs through the people interviewed on the show.

    Transforming Ghana's Food Future with GFM

    Transforming Ghana's Food Future with GFM

    If there is one thing Ghana is rich in is it’s resources in food and the Ghana Food Movement understands that. It was a delight to speak to two members of the Ghana Food Movement- Lotte Wouters and Abdallah Smith, to shed light on the food system in Ghana, how we can all be a part of it in a very fun way to ensure we have a sustainable food future in Ghana and how to patronize our foods and utilize them in dynamic ways that we haven’t yet explored.

    Unlocking the Secrets of Hair Care with Yasmin Botchway

    Unlocking the Secrets of Hair Care with Yasmin Botchway

    The relationship a lot of black people have with their hair hasn’t always been the best and some people till day still don’t have a good relationship with their hair because of some traumas when they used to get their hair done as kids. I can totally relate! It was lovely speaking to Yasmin Botchway, the owner of The YB Studio, a modern healthy hair studio in Ghana and also in the UK about hair care. Yasmin and I delve into her passion for hair and beauty, what healthy hair is and we also touch on how natural hair isn’t better than relaxed hair and vice-versa. I hope this episode challenges your perspective on how you view your hair and the relationship you have with it.
