새로운 사업주| The One with Olabimpe Shode - On Running a Business from the Diaspora & Other Stories: Episode 40 (2021)

With the discovery of the Omicron variant, another Omega variant, the variability of information, the vaccination palaver, and the travel ban, 2021 has been a ride, like a journey from the big year 2020. My teenage friend, Bimpe, who is not new to the podcast, was with me to discuss 2021 so far.

We discussed the inconsistency of information on the COVID, the controversies that have circulated, and she shared safety tips for those traveling during this holiday season. Mask up, whether you've been vaccinated or not!

In the midst of 2021, she launched her business in Nigeria, and we discussed how to start and run a business in Nigeria. She had an entrepreneurial spirit even before moving to the United States, which she has now developed. Bimpe founded Beams Kiddies to serve children aged 0 to 12 and their caregivers, selling lifestyle products and gently used items.

Running a business in Nigeria and entrusting it to others is risky, but my resilient friend did it anyway and shared her challenges, wins, and everything in between. It was a lighthearted and enjoyable episode in which we shared relatable stories about almost everything. Listen to everything we shared here.

암호화폐에 관한 모든 것| The One with Ojogbane Okolo – On Cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and “Those Who Love Them": Episode 39 (2021)

Though born in the UK, Ojogbane grew up in the northern part of Nigeria in a large family amidst uncles and aunties. He would eventually move to the UK to begin life for himself. Despite some initial hiccups reintegrating, he's managed to stay resilient and optimistic.

Ojogbane, who's now a crypto and NFT trader, talked about his journey toward entrepreneurship after leaving his 9-5 job featuring Lloyds Bank and Deloitte, in no particular order nor magnitude. He also shared the impact of boarding school on life as he now knows it, how he was taught to be resilient and understand early enough how life works.

We also explored him moving back to the UK, then vs. now, in which he clearly stated how important it is to find the right people before moving to a new country. We also tried to demystify the cryptic nature of cryptocurrencies, NFT trading, the mystery around the virtual trading world. Also, on how to get started and some basic terminologies to know. Finally, we explored criticisms and delved into why some countries like China have issues with crypto, NFT, and the like.

Ojogbane helped us unpack cryptocurrency's essence though I still have more questions than answers. Nevertheless, this was an excellent episode. Don't believe me? Listen for yourself.

냉어의 모험| The One with Mo! and Her Friends – On Their First Cruise Experience: Episode 38 (2021)

When you are looking forward to a boat cruise, you will experience both excitement and apprehension. And, until you've done it, it can appear to be a risky endeavor. But you only get one life, and if you don't go on adventures, you'll never know what it's like.

A group of six, my friends, and I decided to just go for it and enjoy the cruise. So we cruised through the Southern portion of North America, that was Mexico. It was the first time for the majority of us. We discussed our excitement about going on a boat cruise in this episode with Ayooluwa Cole, Taiwo Adedipe aka Tdawg, Bisi Rihanot Jolasun, and myself what it was like in the days leading up to the big day, what we liked best about the cruise, and what we didn't. One of us also mentioned how she enjoyed the ride despite her allergies.

I'm grateful for this vacation because it allowed me to take a break from work while also spending time with people I enjoy spending time with and trying new things. We've decided to go back on another cruise adventure!

So if you want to go on a cruise someday, whether for fun, with friends, as an adventure, or for your honeymoon, this episode will show you some of the things you should know.

One of our recommendations is to not go on a cruise by yourself, so share this episode with someone you'll be traveling with.

I sea you,

모 /Mo!/

눈부신 용기| The One with Dagmar Jamieson – On Living with Stargardt Macular Dystrophy: Episode 37 (2021)

Happy Thanksgiving, fam!

From moving countries and learning new languages (German and then English) to adjusting to gradually losing her eyesight from the age of 13, Dagmar has grown to become tenacious and inspiring.

Dagmar Jamieson, my cousin's mentor and a life coach to many, became legally blind as a teenager. She was diagnosed with Stargardt macular dystrophy at an early age. She is happily married with a son and a certified life coach, business owner, and community leader.

In this episode, Dagmar shared her journey from Czechoslovakia to Austria and then Canada, adjusting to a new environment and learning new languages. Then there was the gradual loss of her sight and her determination not to let any limitations hold her back. You'll learn about some myths about blindness, as well as how strong and determined an 8-year-old can be amidst life-changing circumstances.

Dagmar's life is inspiring. She has demonstrated great rigor and an unbeatable outlook on life. We are grateful for her, especially in this thanksgiving and her impact on those around her. You should definitely listen to this episode because Dagmar's story will make you thankful.

은혜와 책임| The One with Linda Jena – On Cancel Culture from a Biblical Perspective: Episode 36 (2021)

While there's a good chance you reading this may not yet have been canceled, there's a high probability that you know someone, perhaps, a celebrity, who has been through that wringer.

What then is cancel culture and why has it become a cultural force in recent years? That said, we can all agree that public accountability is also necessary for most instances. So how do we then strike the balance between "canceling" people vs holding them accountable? And who gets to be the jury, judge, and executioner? Also, how do we cancel people with clear convictions? Does cancel culture even give the space for true reflection and repentance in the canceled ones?

As you can imagine, there are no quick answers to these complex questions. This was why I brought Ms. Linda Jena back on the show. Apart from being such a dear friend and sister, she's also one of the wisest people I know. And one who usually has all the answers.

So, in this episode, we explored cancel culture together, especially what the Bible has to say about it.

Forgiveness, as we know, is a uniquely Christian virtue. Others may forgive, but only Christians have such a solid basis for forgiveness. As C.S. Lewis says, ‘To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.'

And for the non-Christians, it's your opportunity to hear how to hold your Christian friends accountable, should they also fall short.

먼 곳의 스승| The One with Dr. Olufunmilola Abraham - On Faraway Mentors: Episode 35 (2021)

Have you ever had someone whose playbook you borrowed and has significantly impacted your life? Perhaps, is there someone you deeply admire from afar? How do you think it would feel to be able to finally sit down with such a person letting them know the many ways they have shaped your life?

This is Dr. Abraham for me, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to finally talk with her on this show.

Dr. Olufunmilola Abraham is an Associate Professor in the School of Pharmacy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She directs the CRoME (Collaborative Research on Medication Use and Family Health) lab, which is trying to develop and disseminate novel methods to improve medication safety for vulnerable and underserved populations. To improve medication adherence, they employ a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach.

In this episode with Dr. Oluwafunmilola, we shared the collective experience as former Chevron employees pursuing grad school in the US and life as assistant professors. She also shared much about her research work and how mentorships have been a big part of her process.

Dr. Olufunmilola and I are similar in a few ways, such as the fact that we both enjoyed teaching and had no strong desire to practice pharmacy anymore.

I hope this episode inspires you to be great and teaches you how to live a balanced life at work and home. If you have any questions about this episode, don't hesitate to get in touch with me at talktomo@mosibyl.com.

나이지리아 비자| The One with Mo! – On Acquiring a Nigerian Visa in the USA: Episode 34 (2021)

Did you know that Nigeria made the list of the countries with the hardest countries to get a visa?

Dealing with Nigerian authorities, no matter where you are in the world is always an experience. I've had my fair share of this, and I do not hold back on sharing my experiences and lessons learned.

I'm back with more visa stories, but this time with beneficial tips for obtaining a Nigerian visa from the diaspora, particularly the United States. If you are a Nigerian in the diaspora with an expired Nigerian passport and want to visit home, or if you are married to a Nigerian and want to visit Nigeria with your spouse, or if you are going to visit Nigeria with your Nigerian friend(s), you will need this information. Or perhaps you don't fit in any of these criteria but would like to find ways to support your Nigerian friends!

I have also written a blog with step-by-step instructions for obtaining a Nigerian visa; I hope you find them helpful. Finally, listen to the podcast for its meat and provide feedback as you use the provided resources.

Stay Hopeful,

Mo!

My husband and I have been in the United States for about ten years. The stories that led up to us finally getting our green cards are incredible and hard to believe. But these things do happen to people, and we don't hear about them enough.

We decided to share these stories in this episode to encourage anyone going through similar experiences, and for those who have been through it, I hope you can relate and realize you are not alone.

Tdawg and I shared our immigration stories in this episode to highlight what it takes and what it means to travel outside of Nigeria to other countries, particularly the United States.

This conversation is our real story; listen here for all of it.

아프리카인과 한류| The One with Chulu Chansa – On Africans and Korean Entertainment: Episode 30 (2021)

Africa is a beautiful continent with rich and diverse cultures. We are bursting with stories, but our global impact has had a minimal reach. Chulu and I reflected on our childhood memories as Africans, the evolution of media, and our shared love for Kdramas. Way before The Squid Game garnered the cross-national status it has gained, Chulu and I have more than two decades' combined worth of experience indulging in Korean entertainment. The Squid Game is one example of Korean entertainment's broad reach and acceptability, and we are excited about this.

Chulu Chansa, this week's guest, is a Zambian podcaster, a writer of modern African culture & lifestyle blog, the host of the Africana Woman podcast, a transformational speaker, and mentor. She joined me on this episode to explore the different aspects of the entertainment industry and mostly Korean entertainment.

In this episode, we talked about our favorite shows and what we love about Korean dramas, what African countries can learn from Korea, and the potential of boosting tourism and cultural explorations in Africa via a boon in the entertainment sectors.

Though the views we expressed in this episode are subjective and can change, this episode is generally entertaining, insightful, and nostalgic. It's also a testament that when someone from the southern part of African meets another from the West, it's always a fun time!

PS: Are you a Kdrama lover as well? Have you ever considered learning the Korean language?

한부모 가정| The One with Doc. Peace Uche (Again) – On Thriving with a Single Parent: Episode 26 (2021)

The quality of parents' relationships makes a difference to children in many ways. Unfortunately, some people's behavioral patterns have been influenced by the parent's split or constant conflict. However, my guest in this episode has chosen to focus on the positive and consciously set the negative aside.

Doc Peace Uche was on the show earlier this year, and now she's back to share a more personal and vulnerable story about her growing up. She is a doctor of pharmacy, transformational rhythmic speaker, empowerment guru, and radio show personality.

In this episode, Dr. Peace shares with us how growing up in a single-parent household has shaped her life and shared how she hopes to do things differently. This episode will encourage you and inspire you to lead a forgiving and positive life. We also talked about parents' roles in being more active participants in their children's lives above and beyond marital conflicts.

Doc Peace commented that the episode felt therapeutic; we hope it encourages you as well.

Best,

모 /Mo!/

After saying no consistently for a year, and the parents disapproving of the marriage based on ethnic differences for a while, B eventually got married to her heartthrob. B is a Nigerian in Canada who has been happily married for seven years. She has been very supportive of this podcast and this time, we had her share her journey before getting married to her husband; from finally giving him a yes after initially being turned off by his advances to getting her mum’s consent. She believes her relationship is not a template, but her story is an inspiring one you will learn a lot from.

In this episode, B talks about growing in love, especially when one’s spouse does not come in the initial package as expected. She also shares how she was able to get past her mum’s bias about her husband’s tribe.

Here is an interesting episode you will enjoy. Listen in and let us know what you think!

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 한국의 기독교 종교| The One With Dr. Ayomide Adebayo - On A Deep Exploration of Korean Cults: Episode 24 (2021)

Just like Korean entertainment, Korean cults are beginning to have a global reach. So much so that I almost got recruited into one, unknowingly! However, these organizations bear semblance with Christianity, thus making it difficult to decipher their ulterior motives at first glance. Hence the name fringe churches To discuss this alarming issue is one of my mentors and fellow geek, Ayomide Adebayo, aka Doc Ayomide.

Doc Ayomide is a writer and psychiatrist who’s spent over a decade thinking, writing, and speaking about what it means to be human through the lenses of behavioral psychology, culture, and faith. He has been featured on various Nigerian radio and TV stations, international media, including HuffPost, and invited to speak at a TEDx.

In this episode, Doc Ayomide and I talked about why cults exist, their characteristics, the profile of likely victims, and why Koreans especially are susceptible to these organizations. He also differentiated between Christianity and cults, and from his professional experience, advised on how best to support cult victims and preventive measures for non-members.

I shared my experience of being almost recruited into one of these Korean cults; listen to get the full details.

눈부신 용기| The One With Sola Adewumi - On Winning Against All Odds: Episode 23 (2021)

If resilience and strength were a person, it would be my dear cousin, Sola Adewumi, a woman who is chasing her dreams against all odds.

Sola is a mum of two who is currently studying for her nursing degree in Canada. In this episode, she opened up about battling with failure, the several low moments she has experienced, and the invaluable lessons they have taught her. She also talked about her relocation to Canada and the behind-the-scenes information on transitioning to nursing from digital marketing in a foreign land!

In this episode, we explore our childhood traumas and their impact on adulthood, being cousins, how Sola’s rare, genetic eye condition, retinitis pigmentosa (an eye disease that causes progressive vision loss) – greatly affected her education, and making a career switch from digital marketing to nursing. Sola took the IELTS examination nine times before getting her desired score! Listen to find out what she did differently on her final attempt. Perhaps you are struggling with failure, this is an episode to encourage you to keep going on.

PS: Because of the nature of our relationship, this episode with my cousin contains some dark humor and outright ridiculousness that might be uncomfortable to some listeners. But it’s all in good jest – and just what you do as cousins!

PPS: Using this episode to generate awareness for retinitis pigmentosa. As of the time of this recording, there’s yet to be a cure for this debilitating disease. If you will like to read more about it and lend some support, click here: https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/retinitis-pigmentosa/

Life sometimes plunges us into difficult situations; we decide if we are crushed in the process or if, through them, we build resilience. Today’s guest chose the latter.

Robert Kabera is a native of Rwanda, where he and his family lived through the 1994 Rwandan genocide. He founded an alternative credit rating agency Credimarks in Ghana, to help extend credit into traditionally underserved markets.

In this episode, Robert recounted surviving in the cold Rwandan genocide, shared the profound significance of the experience and its influence on his career ventures. He also talked about his entrepreneurial pursuits, the peculiarities of doing business in Africa, and the immense impact of his initiatives in achieving poverty alleviation among farmers.

케냐의 일본인 여성| The One With Yuka Itakura Mwashimba – On Faith, Family, and Acculturation: Episode 19 (2021)

Today's episode is an uplifting story of a woman whose encounter and journey with God made her whole.

Yuka Itakura Mwashimba was born in Japan to a Shinto-Buddhist family. She proceeded to study for her MA in the UK as a humanitarian aid worker. There, she met her husband, Nick, and got married in Kenya in 2010 after working for a humanitarian NGO in Japan for one year. Yuka is a mom of two daughters and is passionate about evangelism and sharing the love of Christ.

In this episode, Yuka shares her experience growing up under an abusive father, struggling with suicidal thoughts, and finding freedom after giving her life to Christ. We also talked about her marriage to her Kenyan husband, adopting a new life in Kenya, her motherhood journey, the music school she launched with her husband, and raising kids in cultural abundance.

There are so many life lessons to glean from Yuka's story, do take a listen.

작업 역동성| The One With Tutu Popoola - On The Workplace Dynamics Of The “Woke” Generation: Episode 17 (2021)

We are in the digital era, a time when Gen Zers and younger millennials are changing the traditional patterns of the workplace. To discuss this growing trend, I have Tutu Popoola on the show.

Tutu is the Lead Consultant & Founder of SleekHR, an outsourced HR Consultancy for StartUps, Scale-Ups, and B Corps. Businesses hire her to help them make sense of how UK employment law impacts them, remain compliant, and build a great people experience for their employees from entry to exit.

In this episode, we talked about the unique characteristics of the Gen Zers and younger millennials related to their work ethics and heightened awareness of political and social issues. We also considered ways of bridging the generational gap in the workplace and ways employers can adapt to the changing times.

This episode is a must-listen, especially for anyone seeking ways to connect with the younger generation.

요마마 라이스| The One With Judy Jean Kwon - On The Adventures of Korean American in America: Episode 16 (2021)

All over the world, America has been idolized as the country of dreams where stars align favorably, and the grasses are greener. But, unfortunately, Judy's experience was different.

Judy Jean Kwon is an actor, director, and producer. She grew up in a Korean American video store, where she fell in love with the art of filmmaking and storytelling. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Judy split her time between South Korea and America. She started acting at 17 and has since appeared in numerous films and television series and acted in more than 100 commercials.

In this episode, Judy talked about her challenges as a Korean American immigrant, the adverse effects the American system had on her family, surviving systemic racism, and her attempt at promoting Korean American representation in Hollywood. Yet, through it all, Judy has maintained her cheerful side and even taken back the very name that was used to taunt her to rebrand herself as, "Yo mama rice."

Judy's new movie series has an unusual title; find out when you listen. Follow her on IG @yomamarice

여자가 원하는 것| The One with Dr. Taiwo Adedipe and Dr. Ibukun Sonaike – On What Women Want: Episode 15 (2021)

This week we're signing off on The Relationship Series; we hope you have enjoyed the episodes so far. For the final episode of the series, I have Dr. Ibukun and TDawg as my guests.

Dr. Ibukun is from Lagos, Nigeria, where he received his medical degree. He worked as a primary care physician before studying public health and epidemiology at the graduate level. He currently resides in Washington, where he is training in pediatric critical care, and hopes to improve healthcare in resource-limited settings, especially for very sick children.

In this episode, TDawg and Dr. Ibukun talked about their dating experiences. I got to ask them some burning questions that women want answers to regarding situationships, cheating, and what single women are doing wrong in their search for the right man. TDawg also shared some marriage tips with Dr. Ibukun, who is recently engaged.

To round off this series and allow you to interact with the guests, I am hosting a live Singles Panel Discussion this weekend. If you have enjoyed the series, then you are going to love the LIVE show even more.

Check out our IG page @themoresibylpodcast for more details.
