    Trusting the process with Ferlin Dion

    On today’s episode, I’m in conversation with my friend Ferlin. We recently discovered that we both lived in India. Not at the same time, but close enough to share certain experiences. That connection made us ease into this conversation even more. What I appreciate about Ferlin is his intentionality. He works at a bank. He sings. But more importantly, he has built a system for himself. A structure that keeps him moving toward his purpose instead of drifting through life. We spoke about trusting the process. And also about how to even figure out what that process is in the first place. About staying steady. About not panicking when things feel slow. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it.

    The one with Dayo

    Hello everyone, I am struggling giving this podcast a title so if you come up with a better one that me then let me know please. I know I'm sneaking up on you all and quietly releasing an episode but possibly disappearing again after but please just manage this for now. Like all the episodes on this podcast I really had a good time speaking to Dayo about studying Geology, living in Germany and then now life in Australia. I'm super proud of Dayo. He reminds me that I can absolutely do whatever I set my mind to by living his best life and putting in the work. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it. Until we see next time, Bisous!

  3. Geeking out with Yawo

    Geeking out with Yawo

    Today on the pod, I’m talking to Yawo. I think we first started hanging out because our mutual friends were out of town, and we were both pretty new to Abidjan. Plus, we’d both lived in Germany so there was an easy connection there, too. Honestly, I’m so grateful this podcast gives me a chance to reconnect with the people around me, again and again. I hope you enjoy listening to Yawo geek out while trying very hard to convince us he’s not a geek just as much as I did!

    Hello lovelies, I´m so excited to bring you guys Keren. Keren describes herself as an aesthete and I think that is so cool. You will have to listen to the episode to understand it fully :) As always, I love my guests and I learn so much from our conversations. I learn a lot about them but I also learn new things about my environment and new areas of life. Enjoy the conversation ;)

    Habibi, come to India!

    I haven’t shared much about my life in India on the podcast, so I’m changing that now. I’m excited to introduce you to two incredible people in Delhi who are shaping the scene and representing the Black community here: Fatou and Chanda. They’re building communities, organizing parties and changing the narrative about what people expect from Black people in the subcontinent India. I'm so glad I met them because they really helped me enjoy Delhi. We had some of the best times together. I hope you enjoy this glimpse into what it’s like to be Black in India. Bisous and until next time ;)

    The creative Freeborns

    I first met Ayomidotun in 2016, shortly after I moved to Nigeria. Not long after, I met Oyinda—back when they had just started dating—and it’s been such a joy watching their journey unfold. I had the best time celebrating them at their wedding, and now, every time I’m in town, I love stopping by to see the triplets. I’ve been wanting to hear them share their story—especially from Oyinda’s perspective. These two are raising the coolest set of triplets in Nigeria, and their love and partnership truly shine through. I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording this episode.

    Ivorian-Yoruba community, Content and Dating

    Hello my people, I hope you’re all doing well. I finally got my friend Faruq on the pod today — and I’ve been wanting to make this happen for a while! I’m genuinely fascinated by the Ivorian-Yoruba community he comes from, and the fact that he’s also a filmmaker? Such a great combo, if you ask me. We talk about what it’s like growing up in Côte d'Ivoire with Yoruba roots—and how those two cultures have shaped his identity. And somehow, we ended up chatting about dating and finding the right partner. I even got a little shy! I hope you enjoy hanging out with us in this episode.

    The one with madamecouscous

    Hello everyone! I’m back with Demilade on the pod today. There wasn’t any agenda for this episode but I truly enjoyed it. I truly love how having a podcast brings me closer to my friends. On this episode, we talk about how I need to stop being a party pooper, safe spaces, the idea of home and building some sort of a legacy. I don’t know if anyone reads the description but anyone hopefully enjoys it because they aren’t easy to write 😅 It’s a long listen but it’s also a fun one, I promise!
