In this episode of The Rooted Connections Podcast, Pam and Uju dive into the wild world of societal pressures—from "When will you marry?" to "Is that what you're wearing?" and everything in between.
Rooted in African culture and heritage, the expectations start early and never seem to let up. But are the pressures the same for men and women? (Spoiler alert: absolutely not.) And even in the diaspora, these cultural norms somehow follow us like persistent aunties at a wedding.
With their signature mix of humour, wit, and real talk, Pam and Uju unpack how these pressures have shaped their lives—and how they’re learning to push back, unlearn, and live on their own terms.
If you’ve ever felt the heat of “what will people say?”—this one’s for you. Expect the usual laughs, deep conversations, and maybe a little therapy on the side.
🎧 Hit play, have a laugh, and remember: society can rest.
