Welcome to a podcast unlike any other, in which I bring my unique intersectional identity as a gay Igbo man from Nigeria to the forefront. This is a space where personal stories meet cultural insights, and where meaningful discussions about LGBTQIA+ issues, representation, and empowerment take centre stage. Each episode is a journey into the intricacies of being queer and African, examining themes of identity, perseverance, and visibility. As I amplify queer voices, spill some palm wine, slay stereotypes, and redefine what it means to be seen and celebrated, you can expect a blend of heartfelt storytelling, insightful discussions, and a generous dose of humour. Join me as we navigate the intersections of culture, sexuality, and community, one candid conversation at a time. This is not just a podcast, it is a celebration of diversity, a call for inclusion, and a reminder that every voice matters.

Being truly present, whether at work or in a creative setting, often means doing emotional work, choosing to be quiet, and always balancing the need to be safe and the need to be seen. This conversation is about survival, yes, but also about reclaiming joy, setting boundaries, and showing up with intention, even when it’s complicated. This episode is for all queer people who have had to hide their light at work, and for those who are learning how to shine anyway. #QueerAndUnfiltered #QueerAtWork #LGBTQIANigeria #AfroQueerVoices #WorkplaceVisibility #QueerSurvival #CodeSwitching #UnapologeticallyQueer #BlackQueerJoy #ProfessionalAndProud #QueerLabor #EmotionalLabor #SoftnessIsPower #QueerBoundaries #HealingAndThriving…
This episode explores what it's like to be a queer African in a world that always asks you to choose between visibility and safety. Being out comes with risks, both emotional and cultural, and sometimes physical. But hiding also comes with a cost. Queerness is still valid, no matter how you live. This is a reminder that pride can be loud and soft at the same time. This episode is for anyone who wants to hold on to their identity with purpose, protection, and power.#QueerAndUnfiltered #VisibilityMatters #LGBTQIANigeria #AfroQueerVoices #OutOnMyTerms #QueerVisibility #SoftnessIsPower #LivingOutLoud #BlackQueerJoy #QueerHealing #SafeQueerSpaces #SurvivalAndResistance #ComingHomeToYourself #UnapologeticallyQueer #PublicVsPrivate…
This is a conversation about what it means to love, be wanted, and connect as a queer African who has survived shame, silence, and secrecy. Anyone who is learning to love without apologies or guilt will benefit from this episode. #QueerAndUnfiltered #LovingOutLoud #QueerIntimacy #DesireWithoutShame #QueerHealing #LGBTQIANigeria #AfroQueerVoices #UnapologeticallyQueer #QueerLove #ComingHomeToYourself #BlackQueerJoy #QueerDating #SoftnessIsPower #HealingAndThriving…
This episode is about how softness, rest, and care are radical acts for queer Nigerians, Africans, and members of the diaspora. Many of us were taught to be strong, quiet, and cautious just to survive. This is for anyone who wants to get rid of their shame, guilt, and fear about caring for themselves. It is a reminder that you deserve softness because you exist.#SoftnessIsSurvival #QueerAndUnfiltered #UnapologeticallyQueer #QueerSelfCare #AfroQueerVoices #HealingAndThriving #QueerRestAsResistance #EmotionalLabor #LGBTQIANigeria #ComingHomeToYourself #SelfCareIsPolitical #BlackQueerJoy #RadicalSoftness #QueerHealing…
This episode is a love letter to the people who chose us and became our family when our biological family rejected us. When our biological families fail us, we find home in those who love us as we are without conditions, and we talk about what a chosen family means. This episode is for anyone who is building their own version of a family. It’s for queer Nigerians and Africans who are now writing new definitions of belonging that are rooted in care, loyalty, and joy. Love that is decided, not forced, is the most revolutionary form of resistance we have.#ChosenFamily #QueerAndUnfiltered #LGBTQIANigeria #QueerLove #AfroQueerVoices #QueerBelonging #UnapologeticallyQueer #QueerResistance #HealingAndThriving #ComingHomeToYourself #FamilyIsWhatYouMakeIt…
This episode talks about the complicated relationship between queerness and faith. Many of us were taught that our queerness was something to hide, fear, or pray away. But what happens when we start to regain our spirituality outside of shame, silence, and survival? We look at how religion has hurt people, how colonial interpretations of faith were used to justify homophobia, and how queer people are finding their way back to spiritual truth on their terms. This episode demonstrates that faith does not have to be based in fear. This episode is also for anyone who has been told that they have to choose between their queerness or their spirituality. You don’t. You are allowed to reclaim it fully and free.#FaithNotFear #QueerAndUnfiltered #LGBTQIANigeria #SpiritualHealing #ReligiousTrauma #AfroQueerVoices #ReclaimingFaith #SpiritualLiberation #UnapologeticallyQueer #HealingAndThriving #ComingHomeToYourself #QueerSpirituality #DecolonizeFaith…
This episode explores the daily reality of code switching as a queer person in unsafe, unfriendly, or judgmental spaces. Many of us are constantly changing how we talk, dress, and show up to feel safe or accepted. Code switching may be rooted in survival, but it can often leave us feeling broken and exhausted. This episode is for anyone who has ever had to dim their light to stay safe, or who is looking for spaces where they can exist fully. We affirm together that our wholeness matters and that we deserve to take up space without apologizing.#QueerAndUnfiltered #Codeswitching #QueerIdentity #LGBTQIANigeria #SurvivalAndSafety #LivingInTwoWorlds #UnapologeticallyQueer #SafeSpaces #AuthenticityMatters #ComingHomeToYourself #VisibilityMatters #ThrivingAsQueer #EmotionalLabor #QueerLiberation…
This episode elaborates on the process of learning to accept one's queer identity with confidence and pride. Homophobia can keep us from loving ourselves fully because of self-doubt and the heavy influence of culture, religion, and society. We look at what it looks like to let go of shame, change negative stories, and step into our truth without apologizing. This episode is for anyone who deals with queer identity in a world that tells them to hide it. Together, we say that being queer is something to celebrate, not something to overcome.

Mental health is already a struggle for many, but the weight of societal rejection, discrimination, and cultural expectations makes it even harder for queer people. In this episode, I share the unique mental health challenges LGBTQIA+ individuals face, from internalized homophobia and family pressure to the emotional toll of navigating a world that often refuses to see us.I talk about how to move beyond survival mode and step into a space of healing, acceptance, and resilience.

This episode tackles the widespread stereotypes and misconceptions about being gay, from the belief that homosexuality is "un-African" to the dangerous myth that queerness is a "Western influence."I also address harmful assumptions, such as the notion that homosexuality is a choice, that LGBTQIA+ individuals are promiscuous, or that queer individuals can be "fixed" through marriage. Drawing from my personal experiences and larger cultural observations, I highlight the impact of these misconceptions on the lives of queer Africans and emphasize the significance of challenging these narratives. Through this conversation, I hope to encourage critical thinking, dispel myths, and push for a society that values truth over misinformation. This episode is about reclaiming our stories, redefining perceptions, and advocating for a more inclusive world.
