    African, Older, Unmarried, and Child-free - S1 | E1

    In the debut episode of Konversations with Kui, Dr Kũî Mũraya narrates how this podcast was birthed from a heartfelt open letter she wrote in her late 30s to the older, unmarried, child-free African woman (read full article here: https://medium.com/@kmuraya/to-the-older-unmarried-child-free-african-woman-92fad3d0856f).

This episode is both a personal reflection and an invitation to unlearn living under the terms of what society expects of us, to embrace authenticity, softness and self-worth.
