    SAYO SAYS: ‘We do not live in a meritocracy’ | wardrobe malfunctions | deservedness & suffering| Dilemmas. ep.009

    🔊 Welcome back! It's ep.009 of Sayo Says! If you’re joining for the first time, don’t forget to go back and watch the previous episodes! I’m your host, Adesayo, but you can call me Sayo, and I’m so happy to have you here.  In today’s episode, we talk about how I almost dieded on the escalators and my skirt was almost pulled down in the process. We also talk about meritocracy, touching on imposter syndrome, anchoring the conversation to the story of how I won Head Girl of my sixth form college and how the election confirmed my perspective on meritocracy and how the world operates. The episode is ultimately discussing the idea of deservedness and how we try to quantify how much someone deserves something based on how much they have suffered before getting it. This is more of a philosophical conversation to get us to think about how we engage with the world based on what we think we deserve and don’t deserve and how we try to find meaning by trying to quantify deservedness. We also have a very special dilemma segment this week AND WE HAVE A NEW JINGLE!!!!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. In this episode we talk about: 🧍🏾‍♀️The lady who put her coochie on my head ⚖️ Meritocracy  🌚 Imposter syndrome ✨ Deservedness and suffering 👩🏾‍🏫 Running for Head Girl at my College 📧 Dilemmas  🍿This is a must watch if you love nuance and a good story time, and thinking beyond the surface; then you’re going to love this show!

    🔊 Welcome back to my TubesOfYou and to ep.007 of Sayo Says! If you’re joining for the first time, don’t forget to go back and watch the previous episodes ! I’m your host, Adesayo, but you can call me Sayo, and I’m so happy to have you here. Today’s another special episode!! It’s our first episode with Auntie Sade- one of my many personas. She’ll be making more regular appearances on the show if you show her lots of love in her debut episode. In this episode we talk about: 🤯 When I found out that names could have meanings 🔠 Where my love of words came from as a Spoken Word Artist 🌍 Immigrants vs Expat 🧑🏿‍🏫 The importance of good teachers ☯️ How culture informs your work, personality and sense of humour In this episode, I talk about the origin story of how my fascination with and love of words / word formation began by me asking my parents “ what does my name mean?”. As a spoken word artist most known for my satirical poetic art style, ‘ Kpoetry’, I have a special love and respect for words that most people don’t. If you follow me on Instagram ( @simplysayo) or TikTok (@simply_sayo), you will have more context. I talk about how that single question made me existential at 8 years old and began to shape me into the person I am today and the way that I engage with words in my work and day to day life. We also touch on the importance and impact of education and good teachers; with lots of random tangents and spontaneous singing sprinkled throughout the episode. 🍿This is a must watch if you love nuance and a good story time, and thinking beyond the surface.

In this episode, we also colourfully discuss the importance of reading Black authors, academics and experts and what it means for literacy that interest in English Language and Literature are declining in Universities. We speak about womanism, feminism, internalised misogyny, and Black-British women; addressing our own journeys and we both voice our suspicions and distrust of the rise of femininity coaches and fascism.

And if you’re joining for the first time, don’t forget to go back and watch the previous episodes ! I’m your host, Adesayo, but you can call me Sayo,and I’m so happy to have you here. In this episode, we’re talking about humility and the challenge how it is used socially at times. We also talk about why I don’t believe that Black women should be humble and reject humility! We talk about the ways its social use & dictionary definition differ, and the impact of that on how people perceive humility; humility culture in the U.K.; gender & humility, and why I’m not humble and decided that I can never be humbled!!!! In this episode we talk about: 😌 Humility fi dead !! 🤔What does it mean to be humble? 💁🏾‍♂️ Why men love to humble women 📲 Social media and humility 👸🏿 Black women and humility 🇬🇧 Humility culture in the UK 🍿This episode is a must watch if you want to be more confident and don’t realise that being humble is holding you back. In this episode, I talk about why humility culture makes me uncomfortable and why I reject it and never internalise humility. Ofc, this is mostly conjecture and all topics are more nuanced than a 40 minute episode will cover, so have the discernment to understand that I know there is more than can be said. To be humble is “ to have a lowered sense of self importance”, and i just don’t understand how that is a good thing.

In what ways do you see humility to be good and what ways do you think it can be bad? Have you noticed the disparity in how people try to humble Black women? Are there any memories you have of people trying to humble you and you realise it was to undermine your confidence or achievements?
