In this week's episode, our guest on the show is Koli Ori Akpet (@manlikekoli). We have an exciting conversation about the creative space and how he has nurtured his creative skills while maintaining his career. Trained as a lawyer, he also describes himself as a singer, songwriter, and poet.

We learn more about his creative skills, who and where he draws inspiration from, his lessons, and advice for upcoming creatives.

Finally, Koli shared this quote: “The same things you were bullied about as a child are the very same things that make you a unique adult.” We’d like to hear from you about your childhood attributes that you’ve been able to turn around as a unique selling point as an adult.

Were it not for Mary Slessor, who went about doing the Lord's work in Calabar, the capital of Cross Rivers State, Nigeria, our guest for today would most certainly not be our guest for today. Asides from being a twin, which many find fascinating, she has quite an interesting story.

Ezanya Obeten-Nance was born in Illinois, grew up in Nigeria, and currently resides in Louisville, Kentucky. She is a pathology lab supervisor who has worked as a histotechnologist for over ten years. She is the host of "The Izora Podcast," where she talks about faith, family, work, and trying to figure it all out.

In this episode, Ezanya took us through her journey to America, we explored her Nigerian heritage and how it has influenced her role as a mother, why Christmas in Nigeria beats Christmas in the US, interracial marriage, raising two boys, the profound "why" behind her podcast, family values, self-care, and so much more.

After spending almost two decades in the US, Ezanya shared some valuable tips for those migrating to a new country, especially new international students. Listen to get the scoop.
