In this episode, Sam, Saraunia, and Mmesoma talk about how we see culture as young Nigerians today.
Whether it's replying in English when someone speaks to you in your native tongue, to feeling "half in, half out" of your roots, we share some personal stories of navigating identity, family dynamics, and the whole multicultural remix happening around us.
Sam reflects on how returning to his hometown helped him reconnect with his family history alongside Saraunia, who shares what it's like living between two cultures, and Mmesoma, who low-key identifies with another culture.
We also get into how schools made speaking your native language feel "razz," why accents matter, the tribal stereotypes and biases passed down, and the intentional work that goes into unlearning those stereotypes and embracing culture.
