An interesting conversation with the multitalented AMVCA nominated actor, rapper, writer, and entertainer from Cross River State, Efa Iwara. We speak about how he stumbled upon his gift, what a typical day in his life looks like, and most importantly what philosophy has propelled him throughout his life and career.
In this episode I speak to Akah Nnani, better known as "Man of God," from his groundbreaking Netflix feature. We speak about his entry into the film and media industry and trace his journey from corporate telemarketing to actor extraordinaire, finding out what has grounded him throughout and how he would want to be remembered by those he cherishes the most.
In this episode, we discuss a highly antagonised process within the male lived experience, coping, healing and self-discovery through therapy. I get to converse with Jeadelly Muamba, an architect, influencer, model, and socialite about his therapy experience within a world that is hostile towards men that dare to get in touch with their feelings.

She is an illustrious Lagos-based freelance journalist and filmmaker who has written for the New York Times, Deutsche-Welle, Mail & Guardian and the Christian Science Monitor, to name a few. She has also been featured on Aljazeera and won the Future Awards Africa Prize for Journalism in 2019, covering stories about the environment, human rights, migration, conflict, and gender issues, predominantly in West Africa.
She bares it all in this conversation where we get to discover her inner child, where her story began, what drives her journalism and storytelling and where the moral compass of media lies in the chaos of it all. We gain insight into the realities of life as a freelance writer, whether media is or can be unbias and most importantly the importance of individuality, applying the human element, and failure on your journey to becoming the best writer you can be.
In this episode I get to get up close and personal with two out of three of the SisterSpeaks254 trio, three young ladies who decided to give their lives to fostering an enabling and uplifting environment and society for other women to unite, love and flourish and to equally eradicate period poverty to emancipate and empower the lives of less privileged women and girls in the rural areas of Kenya.
Learn about all their great efforts, activities and how their band came to be in this phenomenal episode where we once again address the ignorance we have regarding menstrual health management, stigma and poverty.
