The ills of iOS 26 will not stop me from giving y'all the weekly episode! Recorded the episode on the voice memos app, so audio might sound different. Not better, not worse, just different. Either way, had fun recording this episode and I'm really excited to share November's 'note-on' episode in the next few days! And as always, thank you to all those who’ve been supporting the podcast; it truly means the world to me 🫶🏾

Fact-check: Brazil does indeed have the largest population of Africans outside of Africa! Will definitely fit right in.

Hello, hello! This is the pilot episode of the new series, "note on"! This series focuses more on topics that concern the average eldest daughter: setting boundaries, cultural expectations, mental health, friendships and dating, and finding your voice beyond family duty, among many other topics! The series is more in-depth, exploring my own personal journeys with these topics, some journal prompts I utilized to work through the tough moments, as well as practical tips and reminders to help fellow eldest daughters (and anyone else tuning in). "note on" is a project that I hold close to my heart and I hope you're able to take something away from it, even if it's just one piece of the puzzle we call life!

Another episode of ‘we’re not really strangers Wednesday’s’! Recording late at night has now become a habit (which I’m breaking ASAP 😭), so if this gives night routine ready, add away to your evening listening session.
