    The "Funny Women" Episode ft Beverly Adaeze

    We’re joined by the extremely talented and hilarious queen, Beverly Adaeze, for a deep dive into her content creation journey, life in the public eye and everything in between. We talk about the constant struggle of never being taken seriously as a funny woman, taking gap years, moving abroad and all the exciting plans she has coming up next. We also unpack internet permanence, cultural differences and after forever, Jola gives a hot take of the week.
