TW: This episode discusses suicide and grief.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with my dear friend, Debra Blaylock, who courageously shares her journey of grief and resilience following her husband's suicide, which took place just before the COVID-19 lockdown. The timing added layers of isolation and loneliness to her already immense sorrow, complicating the healing process. This episode aims to explore the immediate and prolonged aftermath of such a tragic loss and to share, in Debra’s words, how “the pain never leaves; it’s transferred down to the family.” Debra talks about the invisible nature of pain—how it can quietly consume loved ones and leave a permanent impact on those left behind. She reflects, “You have to realize you are not a person; you are just involved,” encapsulating how grief reshapes one’s identity. Debra stresses the importance of recognizing the signs of distress, having open conversations about mental health, and seeking support when needed. Her story is a poignant reminder that although the pain may be overwhelming, there is always hope, and no one is ever truly alone. She leaves listeners with the crucial message: “There is always hope, and you are never truly alone.” This conversation sheds light on the silent struggles many face and offers hope and guidance for anyone navigating a similar path. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out. Together, we can break the silence around mental health and be a source of light and support for one another.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents:정체성의 다리|The One with Dr. Kelechi Ibe-Lamberts - Cultural Alchemy: On Being Black Transnational: Episode 18 (2024) 

Dr. Kelechi Ibe-Lamberts has such an extraordinary personality and rich experience. I had the most incredible chat with him. He’s not just a clinical associate professor at the University of Illinois Chicago School of Public Health—he’s the powerhouse behind the My Black is Transnational podcast. Talk about impressive credentials!

Born in Lagos and sent on a plane to the U.S. at just 8 years old, Dr. Ibe-Lamberts was raised in Chicago, embodying the essence of juggling multiple identities. Imagine a home filled with Christian, Muslim, and Ghanaian influences! As a 1.5-generation Nigerian-American, he gracefully balances these vibrant cultures with humor and poise. His journey is nothing short of inspirational, and we shared laughs and deep insights, leaving me with a fresh perspective on navigating cultural identities. What’s even more fascinating is his personal life—he’s married to an African American woman, and together they have three children. Their family is a beautiful testament to cultural blending, and Dr. Ibe-Lamberts’ reflections on raising a bicultural family are both heartwarming and insightful.

From mastering grocery shopping as a young immigrant to his current work fighting health disparities for refugees and immigrant communities, his story radiates resilience and passion. One of the most touching moments was hearing him describe being "Kelly" in Chicago while reclaiming his true name, Kelechi. It’s raw, personal, and deeply moving.

Let’s not forget his incredible family journey—how his second mother and distant father shaped his life. His shift from aspiring MD to embracing public health with a focus on transnational issues? Absolutely fascinating! This episode isn’t just about cultural integration; it’s about how love, respect, and persistence create something extraordinary. Don’t miss out—hit play and join us on this remarkable journey!

Imagine a conversation where wisdom meets sheer dynamism—precisely what I experienced recently with the remarkable Dr. Otito Iwuchukwu. This isn’t just any chat; it’s an exploration into the brilliance of a woman who redefines what it means to be a powerhouse!

Dr. Otito and I go way back—six years of friendship and mentorship, and she’s been a rock in my academic journey. Our chat was nothing short of exhilarating. Her journey from Nigeria to the U.S. is like something out of a movie, filled with grit and determination. When she arrived at Temple University to discover that her degree program would no longer be offered, most would’ve panicked, but not Dr. Otito! She reinvented her academic path and made it work. Talk about resilience!

Another jaw-dropping moment was when she tackled a difficult committee member during her Ph.D. journey. Instead of giving in, she trusted her intuition and prayed—yes, that committee member left! Divine intervention, anyone?

Dr. Otito also shared her insights on navigating subtle exclusion in professional settings, the art of knowing when to leave an unsupportive workplace, and the power of documenting interactions to protect yourself. Her advice on dealing with unconscious bias and creating safe spaces for communication was pure gold. Let’s not forget her wisdom on work-life balance. She emphasized that joy in work is crucial and that finding fulfillment should be the goal, not endless grinding.

This conversation was packed with powerful insights and those “aha!” moments we crave. So, if you want to be inspired and empowered, don’t miss out! Tune in now and soak up Dr. Otito’s incredible wisdom. Trust me, you’ll thank yourself later!

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 인도의 성별 기반 폭력|The One with Anjali Chakkissary - Stories from India: The Complexities of Gender-Based Violence: Episode 16 (2024)

Today’s episode explores the complexities of gender-based violence, featuring a heartfelt conversation with Anjali Chakkissary, an international student from India. Anjali's journey from Gujarat to the U.S. has been filled with challenges and triumphs, and her insights into gender inequality are both powerful and poignant.

Our discussion illuminated the stark realities women in India face, including the harrowing impact of patriarchal norms and recent tragedies like the assault and murder of a young resident doctor in Kolkata. Anjali’s reflections reveal the harsh truth about systemic failures, legal inefficiencies, and the victim-blaming that permeates society.

Yet, amid the sobering details, Anjali’s stories also bring a glimmer of hope. She passionately advocates for women’s safety and empowerment, emphasizing the need for early education on consent and respectful relationships. Her vivid descriptions of her home state, Kerala, and its cultural richness contrast sharply with the grim realities she describes, making her message even more impactful.

This episode isn’t just a conversation; it’s a call to action. Join us as we amplify voices like Anjali’s and work together to create a world where women everywhere can live free from fear and full of hope. Listen now, and let’s keep the conversation going.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 이민과 남성성 예술|The One with Mayowa Nwadike - The Artistic Journey: Embracing Vulnerability and Self-Expression: Episode 15 (2024)

Today, I'm excited to introduce you to Mayowa Nwadike, a super-talented mixed-media artist from Nigeria who is now making waves in the United States. Mayowa’s art is special—it touches on topics like toxic masculinity and the immigrant experience, all through the magic of acrylic and charcoal.

Mayowa’s work is like a mirror held up to society, reflecting how our norms and expectations can sometimes fuel toxic masculinity. But here’s the cool part—he’s not just pointing out the problem; he’s flipping the script and pushing for a more inclusive take on gender roles. We had a great chat about this, and he opened up about his childhood in a religious household, growing up with three siblings, and how family favoritism shaped his emotional world and, ultimately, his art. It’s all about those subtle, often unspoken feelings that he captures so brilliantly.

But wait, there’s more! Mayowa also took us through his artistic evolution—from his early pencil sketches to the abstract pieces he started experimenting with during the 2020 lockdown. His art is a visual diary, filled with the raw emotions of migration, identity struggles, and the complexities of manhood. We touched on some pretty important stuff, like mental health, breaking those old-school gender stereotypes, and why it’s so crucial for men to embrace their vulnerability and express their emotions.

Trust me, you don’t want to miss this conversation!

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 쇼군|The One with Doc Ayomide - The Art of Storytelling in "Shogun": A Reflection on Culture and Tradition: Episode 14 (2024)

In this episode of The More Sibyl Podcast, I’m joined by my fellow cinephile, Doc Ayomide, for an engaging discussion on Shogun (2024), the captivating FX series based on James Clavell’s novel. Set in 17th-century Japan, Shogun delves into the intricate dynamics of power, love, and cultural conflict during political upheaval.

Doc Ayomide and I explore how the powerful stories within Shogun shape our understanding of historical events and resonate with our modern lives. We discuss the delicate balance between authenticity and drama in historical shows, emphasizing how Shogun navigates the complexities of honor, loyalty, and strategic decisions.

Our conversation highlights the personal sacrifices that characters—and, by extension, people—make to stay true to their values. We also reflect on broader themes, such as the role of honor in shaping identity, the importance of relationships, and the nuanced portrayal of cultural differences. Doc Ayomide offers a fresh perspective on how these themes mirror real-life scenarios, where loyalty and strategy often come at a significant personal cost.

In addition, we touch on the evolution of media consumption, comparing the communal experience of weekly episode releases to the binge-watching culture popularized by streaming platforms. We also discuss how Shogun uses language and translation as powerful tools for both connection and conflict.

As we wrap up, it becomes clear that understanding these dynamics enriches our appreciation of storytelling while offering valuable life lessons. Whether you’re a history buff, a media enthusiast, or someone looking to explore the intersection of culture and character, this episode has something for you. Tune in for an insightful exploration of how Shogun reflects the dualities of life and how our engagement with media continues to shape our perspectives on both the past and present.

In this episode of The More Sibyl Podcast, we welcome you all to Season 7 with immense gratitude. Reflecting on our journey since April 2018, your support has been invaluable. This season promises engaging and diverse discussions on workplace dynamics, personal resilience, and more. Entering our sixth year and seventh season feels surreal yet immensely rewarding. Reflecting on this journey, I'm reminded of the wisdom shared by Ira Glass about the creativity gap. He aptly described the initial phase of a creative journey as a period where there's often a disparity between our vision and the quality of our work. While it may be discouraging when our efforts fall short of expectations, it's essential to recognize the significance of these early steps in our growth process.

Embracing the imperfections of our early episodes was key to reaching Season 7. This season, we'll continue our authentic storytelling, exploring diverse experiences, asking tough questions, and building community. As we gear up for Season 7, we're expanding our team. If you're a young creative looking to join us in post-production, brand sponsorship, or social media management, send your resume and cover letter to talktomo@mosibyl.com.

On a personal note, the past few months have been filled with both challenges and growth. While I eagerly anticipate sharing my stories with you, some are still in progress to ensure that everyone's privacy and dignity are respected. Season 7 will serve as a celebration of diversity, featuring engaging narratives, and unveiling fresh perspectives.

Thank you for being an integral part of our journey. Here's to an enriching and inspiring Season 7!

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 전립선암에 대한 승리| The One with Mr. Perry Cole - Triumph over Prostate Cancer: Episode 15 (2023)

In honor of Father's Day, this episode explores the life of Mr. Perry Cole, a 65-year-old retiree from Texas and a valued member of my scientific community advisory board. His journey began with a prostate cancer diagnosis in June 2021, followed by radical prostatectomy in August of the same year. As of June 2023, his PSA levels (blood test for prostate cancer) have remained undetectable for two years, indicating successful treatment.

Mr. Cole's proactive approach to health is highlighted as he took charge upon receiving his diagnosis and emphasized early detection. He advised his sons to monitor their PSA levels due to the potential genetic link, inspiring others to prioritize their well-being. As a father to two sons and three daughters, his cancer diagnosis prompted important health discussions within the family, emphasizing the value of familial support.

Throughout his journey, Mr. Cole discovered effective coping mechanisms for the challenges of prostate cancer. He emphasizes the importance of regular check-ups, open communication with healthcare providers, and seeking professional help for mental well-being. Despite changes in sexual functioning, he cherishes moments with his children and grandchildren, exemplifying a positive outlook on life.

Mr. Cole's story showcases the power of proactive health management, strengthening family bonds, and maintaining a positive mindset. His experiences and advice provide valuable insights for those facing a cancer diagnosis, reminding us of the potential for resilience and determination to lead fulfilling lives, even in the face of adversity.

This pivotal shift opened up new opportunities for her, ultimately leading to her successful application for the prestigious R01 award from the American Academy of Oral Medicine.

Our discussion delved into important aspects of oral healthcare, guided by Dr. Omolehinwa's exceptional expertise and engaging demeanor.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 잠비아 청소년 지원| The One with Helen Leale-Green - Empowering Zambia's Youth and Transforming Education: Episode 12 (2023)

In this week's podcast episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Ms. Helen Leale Greene, an inspiring individual dedicated to educational work in Zambia. I initially met Helen during a panel discussion on education in Africa, where her passion for the subject was evident. After the discussion, I approached Helen and invited her to feature on my podcast, leading to this episode.

Helen is the founder and CEO of an impactful charity called Our Moon, which focuses on empowering bright but financially disadvantaged young Zambians. She also serves on the executive committee of HALI Access Network. Her mission is to ensure equitable access to education and university opportunities for young Africans, enabling them to reach their full academic potential and become catalysts for positive change in the continent. Currently residing in the UK with her husband and dog, Helen is a proud mother of three grown sons.

During our conversation, Helen shared insights into her early career, her decision to switch paths, and the remarkable achievements of her organization thus far. As an African, I deeply appreciate the significance of Helen's work in helping underprivileged youth access university education and providing them with essential guidance and support. I am genuinely excited to witness her continued growth and impact.

Listen to this episode to hear about Helen's inspiring journey and learn more about her incredible work to transform lives through education.

Thank you for your continued support, and stay tuned for more engaging episodes.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 파라의 삶의 더 많은 층| - More Layers of Life - Exploring Farah’s Journey from Childhood to Blended Family (Part 2): Episode 11 (2023)

In this week's continuation of Farah's life journey, we were joined by Tony, her husband, and our session together was truly enjoyable. Tony, former military personnel, described his marriage to Farah as one of the greatest adventures of his life. Despite societal perceptions of second marriages, their unique story, which began when they met in church during their respective divorces, has resulted in a successful union of over 25 years.

During our conversation, Tony shared deeply personal experiences that have shaped his perspective on family. He revealed that the time he discovered he had a 17-year-old son, a surprising revelation that turned his world upside down (for good). Additionally, he opened up about the pain of being estranged from his daughter for seven long years. These challenges have tested his resilience and reshaped his understanding of fatherhood.

Despite these hardships, Tony's love for his children knows no bounds. He expressed a profound desire to see them live fulfilling lives guided by their own choices and the will of God. He emphasized the importance of allowing them to explore, take risks, and grow, even if it meant they had to be physically distant from him. Tony's unwavering support and acceptance shine through as he embraces the complexities of parenthood.

Tony and Farah have built a blended family with six children, each with a unique story and background. Their journey as a family is filled with anticipation for the future, including the joy of being grandparents. Their commitment to love, understanding, and overcoming challenges has fortified their bond.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 파라의 삶의 층| Layers of Life - Exploring Farah’s Journey from Childhood to Blended Family (Part 1): Episode 10 (2023)

In this week's episode, I had a delightful conversation with Farah, a multi-talented mother, wife, photographer, singer, and respite caregiver. We met at church through a mutual friend, and our connection was instant. Farah's restaurant recommendations proved trustworthy, and she and her husband even became godparents to our Arii. 

Our conversation was so engaging that it spanned various topics, including Farah's childhood experiences, her parent's divorce, her first marriage, and her current blended marriage. The session was so captivating that we split it into two parts for the podcast. Farah's layered personality and unique experiences, such as being part of a blended family, added depth to our discussion. Join us as we delve into Farah's remarkable story, exploring her childhood, relationships, parenting, and everything in between.
