Even though it's been 14 years since this experience, I still beat myself up for coming to America financially unprepared. That experience shaped my life and i learnt great lessons of how to be financially wise and save up for your dreams.If you're an international student considering making the move to America or just curious about what it's like to start from scratch in a new country, then this video is for you.

I am joined by my sister Afy to discuss why women should have a life outside of their marriage or their husbands. A lot of African women get into marriage with the expectation of being housewives and have their husbands provide for their families. However, in today's world and current economy, both people (husbands & wives) need to pull their weight financially to make things work. Afy advices women to be resourceful, get jobs or do petty trading and be financially independent of their husbands. She believes women should be able to contribute meaningfully to the family. She shares her own personal story of how she worked hard as a young mom of 5 kids to be able to support her family despite having a husband. She advices women not to solely rely on their husbands income to support them but they should find a job or start a business (no matter how small). Doing so, will not only give them independence but give them an identity, provide mental & emotional wellness and earn them some respect from their husbands an in-laws. She advises women to take care of themselves and look good and attractive for their husbands. Wives should be their husbands back bones, cook for them and take care of them and on the other hand, husbands should love and be appreciative of their wives efforts. Having raised 5 kids ranging from 15 to 27 year old, she shares her struggles raising the kids almost single handedly sometimes traveling with them on business trips to broker deals. She looks back now and is grateful that her kids are grown and doing well. This episode is for women everywhere, it is packed with great words of advice and testimony of how one woman overcame many obstacles to achieve her dream of seeing her children become successful through her sacrifice as a wife and mom.

In this episode, i am joined by Abies and we discuss issues affecting Nigerian immigrants who live abroad. We talked about competition amongst immigrants and why Nigerian/African marriages struggle abroad compared to if they were in Africa. Abies talked about what couples should do to stay afloat and remain married. She stressed that couples have to be accountable to one another and bear each other's burden as living abroad is stressful already so they need to support each other. Couples need to ditch the African cultural outlook on marriage as it will not work in diaspora. Both people in the relationship need to pull their weight either financially, emotionally or in other ways. Abies also talked about Nigerian churches abroad and why she chose not to attend one, mostly due to their need for control and some doctrinal inconsistencies. She talked about friendships and how they change abroad, she advised not to choose friends solely based on nationality or race but based on similar personal values. She also gave her 2 cents on Nigerians who build houses in their villages in Africa, often, those properties stay dormant and unoccupied because no one lives in the villages, her advice is for people to re-think their investment strategies. We chatted about racial issues and the dance we need to do as Africans to fit into the culture abroad. From code switching to dumbing yourself down to feel accepted, she talked about her experiences and gave encouragements to immigrants including networking and being vocal in the work place.
