Ayomide's breasts were ironed at a very young age which according to the mother, was to ward off men from abusing her by creating an illusion her breasts weren't fully developed like 'that of an adult.

Sam Acho who is an NFL player, writer, public speaker and humanitarian shared his journey of currently transitioning out of the NFL, choosing to be more intentional and purposeful in his personal life journey and how realizing that God loves him regardless is changing the course of his life.

Remember those things you've been believing God for, for a long time? Do you recall they've already been answered? Okay, life went by so quickly but the last time you remembered, did you at least pause to take it all in and express your gratitude to God even if it was just 10 minutes of meditation and reflecting back to how faithful he has been. This episode is a reminder that God still appreciates gratitude and most times we don't need to do the most to say thank you to him. A grateful heart is a happy heart.
