Radio Uzo

For the season four finale, I thought I'd try my hands at giving an introspective take on dating by sharing my experience. I explore the dangers of certain identities we've consciously or unconsciously crowned ourselves with. Before diving into the episode, I give some tips collected from my very unserious followers on Instagram on dealing with seasonal depression. Later on, I share my biggest lessons of 2024. See you in the new year <33 Thank you for following Radio Uzo, listening and sharing your thoughts with me. To all the new listeners, welcome. There's Malt and Shawarma in the fridge. I'd recommend air-frying the shawarma tho.

Yvan is absolutely one of my favorite people to talk with. He's God-fearing, playful, tasteful, productive, and uniquely insightful. On this episode of Radio Uzo, we get into everything from his NYSC experience and love for dance to how he embraces his many creative talents. Yvan is a model, dancer, designer, and Muay Thai novice.

The bestie of all besties joins us on Radio Uzo to talk all things friendship, motherhood, dating, and living in community. With all the craziness in our schedules over the years, this was a chance to truly reconnect. I'm curious to see how she has evolved and if she was still the same girl who tried frying raw beans. Like no soaking or nothing, just frying pan, oil, and raw beans. Anyone who knows Janet knows she's big on relationships both at the personal and communal level. We discuss building intentional friendships, especially as adults. We had fun on this one with lots of stories. Also quick question for the UT folks, is the X lounge still a thing?

I think I'm becoming really igbo and it's actually scaring me. Saw these red loafers the other day and they looked appetizing omg. Sit and ruminate with me on this episode. We're discussing growing pains, lay-offs, taste-making, dating and prioritizing friends. We're all just trying to figure it out so let me know what you think.

Founder, neuroscientist, and self proclaimed 'hort gorl,' Nita joins us on this fun and highly thought provoking episode of Radio Uzo. What do fallen gay icons, Tinubu, and showering in a tux having in common? Well, listen to find out.

The first episode was soo good we had to bring him back. Uchenna is back with us on the new season of Radio Uzo after a monumental 2023. In this episode, he sits down with Uzo to discuss brand building, the creative renaissance happening in Dallas, and his biggest lessons from 2023. They also discuss plans for the future and where they'd like to evolve in the new year. On a lighter note, Uchenna delivers a shocking and possibly accurate breakdown of Uzo's rizz game. If this has worked you, you might be eligible for compensation. Lots of laughs on this one so save it for the perfect moment.

ANOTHER BANIGER! I got the opportunity to literally sit down with one of my favorite people, Nnemka. She's an engineer, artist, and all-around star. She juggles the "work hard, play hard" mindset like no one I know. In this episode, we discuss the importance of networking and how putting yourself out there can get you the things you want. Hear how she switched from a career in Chemical Engineering to Computer Science during the lockdown and how much grit and determination it took. We also discuss ways our parents could benefit from social media and we come up with interesting ways to help our parents build a closer network online. Nnemka shares tips on what to say when you first meet someone professionally and a funny way she's been able to get the best customer service wherever she goes.  On a lighter note, we discuss Dubai and afrobeat artists we find overrated and why.

I think you'll enjoy the little nostalgic ad I placed here. Thank you for listening if you are, I speak about what it's been like moving to a new city. I speak on experiencing the Bay Area as an outsider and why you should leave your hometown at least once.  I'm building a Radio Uzo team and we're in need of social media strategists, brand marketing, graphic designers, and audio engineers. Reach out to me via email (radiouzo19@gmail.com) if you'd love to learn more about the vision and see if it might be worth your while. 

O2 turn O3 and now Americans are bamboozled at how they got nothing close to the excitement in London. RIP Virgil Abloh, the man behind Pyrex, DONDA, Off White, and the recent resurgence of Louis Vuitton. We get into his story and discuss his 3% design rule. There is no arrival and my new found love for European films balanced by my disdain for Hollywood.
