The Baby Girls Podcast

The Baby Girls is a group of young Nigerian women who were brought together by the wedding of a mutual friend and this podcast is basically an extension of conversations that happen on our WhatsApp group. This is a podcast lovingly curated by women for women (and lovers of women) addressing the serious and not-so-serious issues that affect them. It discusses the peculiar Nigerian experience from the point of view of everyday Nigerian women and the different ways in which we’re thriving in and despite it.
