Cultural Heritage by Happiness

Welcome to the season two (2) of Cultural HERITAGE WITH HAPPINESSHAMANDAH. I am finally back! I know that I took an unexpected long break but you can expect this season to be great because we have proverbs, stories, playlist, family and more. This one is a bonus, just listen and enjoy.

The song at the beginning is one of my favorite, KNOWN by Tauren Wells. Can you relate? Do you try to be quiet but the voice in your head won’t shut up? Me too! Me too! Me tooooo! But then it’s okay if it doesn’t keep quiet because you are more than just a physical being.

  Honestly a lot of people always have something to say to me as a human and a woman. They want to tell me how to dress; what and what not to wear, how to sit, stand, eat, how to talk; what and what not to say and even what my body should look like but calling me an oppressor? okay! I AM UPSET. instagram: @happinesshamandah 

     Feminism, One of the most misunderstood political movements, ideologies, and social movements. Feminists share a vast array of opinions and beliefs about gender equality.       On this episode of Cultural heritage with Happinesshamandah, I have done a simple introduction and explained the foundation on which my feminist ideologies are built. i said "my country taught me to be feminist, my friends taught me to be a feminist, even my teachers" I didn't become a feminist overnight, it was there from the very beginning and I embraced it because it answered a lot of questions that little Happiness had been asking and nobody was willing to answer.

Being in a romantic relationship is not a joke. Does your partner complete or complement you? well Princess has answers for us and a few words of wisdom to share. Join us as we give you a little bit of our bedroom talk. Here we use local Nigerian dishes as illustrations to make our point of view and perspectives relatable.  Instagram:happinesshamandah

     Many of us have been conditioned to  think in a certain way and we have only been told a single story. Join me as I air my opinion on this given topic. IG: Happinesshamandah FB: happiness hamandah Igbokwe Twitter: @happinessuchei1

Africa!! The mother land It was a very special moment for me because of  these emotions, a blend of power, disgust,joy and I just kept shaking my head and laughing and thinking and talking... I did a lot. There’s more to be said. Question Africans what do you think about how our stories are being told by foreigners and how can we tell our stories in a better way? African Americans, is there really still a reason for so much ignorance and what can we do to change that, what is the easiest way to enlighten people?

      I use to have questions about forgiveness, With time I realized that forgiveness has more to do with the offended than the offender, when you Forgive someone you are not doing them a favor.       On this episode, I decided to share my personal experience, the lessons I learned and the ultimate solutions. I also discussed the meaning of forgiveness and how it works.    Thank you for dropping by again,I hope that you get more than you bargained for. You can send me a voice message, Favorite this episode and my previous episodes, and also wave at me on the  ANCHOR podcast.  Also if you have questions or just a few things that you want  to say to me, send me an email happinessucheigbokwe@gmail.com Thank you

I have heard different types of names and i have witnessed various reactions by people to these names because some names are funny, some are weird and discouraging while others are actually uplifting and powerful. i know you can relate too so please drop your comment on those names that have either been eye opening, encouraging or even shocking and surprising.
