The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 혼자 살지 마세요|The One with Doc Ayomide - On Not Doing Life Alone & Crafting Meaningful Connections: Episode 23 (2023)

In this week's episode, we're delighted to be joined by a familiar presence on the show. A warm welcome to our new listeners as well! We're pleased to reintroduce Doc. Ayomide, a SENIOR colleague and friend. For those who may not have had the pleasure of acquainting themselves with him, Dr. Ayomide is a psychiatrist and formerly served as a co-host on the podcast!

We deeply dive into a subject that has captured our attention on multiple occasions: the intricate art of community building. Our discussion centers on the intricate art of community building, prompted by an enlightening podcast episode titled "How To Not Go It Alone" by Julie Beck and Rebecca Rashid. Drawing parallels to Stephen Covey's "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," we explore community building.

Our dialogue expands to encompass the intricate tapestry of cultures that shape our society. We candidly recount our encounters with culture shock after transitioning from Nigeria to the UK (for him) and from Nigeria to the USA (for me). We also delve into the captivating nuances of acceptable behaviors across different racial groups. Moreover, I share some of the enlightening perspectives I've gained through my experiences with community building as a new mother.

As we end our show, we delve into the concepts of openness and directness on an individual level. Our discussion also revolves around the essence of community building, strategies to alleviate the prevalent issue of loneliness, and the notions of freedom, independence, and interdependence.

We offer an encouraging reminder to ourselves and our listeners to be there for others, just as we hope others will be there for us. This mutual support and understanding create a nurturing environment that enriches our lives and the lives of those around us.

DISCLAIMER❗ 

This episode contains elements that some individuals may find disturbing and triggering. Viewer discretion is advised.

During our conversation, Phyllis and I delve into a challenging and sensitive topic – sexual abuse. We discuss its impact on both genders, share personal experiences, and shed light on negative societal norms and victim expectations. We address the issues of stigma and shame and break the silence surrounding this topic.

We emphasize the significance of speaking out about sexual abuse and how it can kickstart the healing journey. We also explore identifying behavioral tendencies in those who may have experienced sexual abuse. Phyllis offers insights into healing, including community engagement and pursuing hobbies.

Phyllis shares her motivations as an author and provides a glimpse into the content of her books. We also touch on how the government can support families and victims of sexual abuse.

As we wrap up the episode, we delve into the loneliness pandemic faced by sexual abuse victims, society's role in perpetuating stigma, and strategies for healing and moving forward, particularly for those from dysfunctional families. Phyllis even asks me why I became a podcaster – a question I've been asked several times!

Lastly, we discuss the possibility of having Phyllis back on the show for a panel session on suicide rates in prepubescent youth. Thank you for joining us for this engaging and insightful episode.


Be Well,

Mo!

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 아버지의 유산 | The Life and Works of the Late Rev. Paul Ogunyale: Pioneering Herbal Medicine for Sickle Cell Patients and the “NICOSAN” Saga: Episode 21 (2023)

The name 'Ogunyale' will surely ring a bell for anyone in the herbal medicine field in Nigeria. This week, we have the privilege of welcoming Mr. Oluniyi (Niyi) Ogunyale to our show. He is the son of the late Reverend Paul Ogunniyi Ogunyale, a true legend in the herbal medicine field in Nigeria and the founder of Nicosan (now called Paumascel), a breakthrough drug for managing sickle cell disease. Niyi takes us on a captivating journey, sharing life experiences and insights from his childhood in Oyo town, Oyo state, Nigeria.

During our conversation, we delve into the origin and history of the groundbreaking herbal drug and how his father founded it, including measures to prevent possible consumer addiction due to its alcohol content. We also explore the implications of the legal battle between the Ogunyales and the Nigerian Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development (NIPRD) over 'Nicosan.' Niyi shares his heartfelt account of the sad and heartbreaking events surrounding the case, shedding light on crucial details, including his father not signing the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

Towards the end of the show, Niyi and I engage in a thought-provoking discussion about the implications of cultivating trust between the local community and industry, given the legal battles the family is going through. He also emphasizes the importance of ensuring the accessibility and affordability of his herbal medicines while maintaining their quality and effectiveness. Niyi envisions his brand and an extension of his father’s legacy, Paumatree, gaining global recognition in the next 5-10 years, with a strong emphasis on retaining affordability and accessibility.

We deeply appreciate your continued support and encourage you to stay tuned for more engaging upcoming episodes!

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 어린 시절의 추억| The One with Olabimpe - On  Childhood Memories in Tenement Buildings: Episode 20 (2023)

Welcome back to another thought-provoking episode of our podcast! This week, we're joined by the inspiring Olabimpe, sharing heartfelt experiences growing up in tenement buildings or "Face Me, I Slap You" houses. It's a part of my life I never thought I'd share publicly, but it's crucial to empower others through our story.

Tenement buildings are communal spaces where multiple families reside, sharing kitchens and bathrooms, often facing poor living conditions and overcrowding. We delve into the unique challenges and intricate relationships of this living arrangement. Our journey takes us into the shame, retraction, and challenges we faced living in such spaces and the lasting impact as adults. Olabimpe shares how it made her extra cautious and jumpy in unfamiliar places, while for me, it sparked an obsession with cleaning and maintaining a tidy space.

Growing up in these conditions was truly eye-opening. We discuss the reluctance to invite friends over due to stigmatization.  Even though we had control over our words and appearance, living conditions left emotional impacts, almost akin to PTSD, according to Olabimpe. Our experiences offer profound insights into the impact of housing situations on a child's emotional and mental well-being. Despite the challenges, we found strength in tight-knit relationships and community support. We address stigmatization and explore ways to break stereotypes and embrace our true selves.

Our parents played central roles throughout our stories, providing crucial support during tough times. Honoring them is essential, as they created a safe and loving environment despite the circumstances.


Reflecting on our journeys, we're proud of how far we've come and all we have gained. This episode offers hope that time and the smallest changes made to one's environment can bring positive change, and we're living proof of this.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 수학과 모성 및 기적| The One with Nydia Nelson - On Math, Motherhood, and Miracles: Episode 19 (2023)

In this deeply inspiring episode, we have the privilege of meeting Nydia Nelson – a dedicated mom, educator, and true math enthusiast. Nydia's passion for math ignited at 16, inspired by a textbook-free professor, and she courageously embraced motherhood at 17. Throughout her journey, her unwavering love and advocacy have been guided by her mother's steadfast support, proving to be a guiding force in her life. Her mum gave her an ultimatum when she got pregnant, which helped shape her in the right direction.

However, life took an unexpected turn when her child was diagnosed with autism. In the face of this challenge, Nydia fearlessly shared her journey, seeking the most fitting support for her child. Her exploration led her to the transformative potential of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, a decision she made with determination, choosing not to rely on medication for her son.

Nydia's story is a testament to the strength of a mother's love and her unwavering dedication to her child's well-being. Her resilience and commitment to finding her child's best support shine through every step of her journey. It is a reminder that love, determination, and unwavering support can make a profound difference in the lives of our loved ones.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: Chat-GPT에 대한 고민| The One with Doc. Ayomide - The Cycle of Technology Panics: Examining the Repeated  Concerns and Anxieties Surrounding Artificial Intelligence: Episode 18 (2023)

We had the privilege of discussing the complex relationship between humanity and artificial intelligence in this insightful episode with our special guest, who happens to be my friend Doc. Ayomide. He shared valuable insights on the fears, advantages, and disadvantages associated with AI.

Drawing from historical examples, we explored the recurring cycles of panic and concern accompanying new technologies' emergence. Dr. Ayomide emphasized that while fears of a dystopian future where machines dominate are common, we have successfully overcome similar challenges throughout history.

We further examined the impact of technology and focused on the internet as a prime example. While initial concerns about privacy, security, and misinformation were valid, the internet has revolutionized communication, enabled global connectivity, and transformed various industries.  It has also created opportunities for remote work, cross-border collaboration, and instant access to information.

Finally, we concluded that AI can improve lives, create opportunities, and address global challenges responsibly, especially in emerging countries in Africa.

Olabimpe's journey of self-discovery and growth, shaped by her mother's unwavering love and forgiveness, is truly inspirational. She emphasized the significance of taking control of one's life, letting go of negativity, and embracing personal responsibility.

In honor of Father's Day, this episode explores the life of Mr. Perry Cole, a 65-year-old retiree from Texas and a valued member of my scientific community advisory board.

In this week's podcast episode, I spoke with Dr. Adeodat, a passionate scientist and educator from Burkina Faso. We covered diverse topics, including childhood experiences, politics, the challenges of moving abroad, and the importance of education. Dr. Adeodat shared frustrations with France's influence in Africa and encouraged listeners to take risks and embrace learning. We also discussed work-life balance for women in high-achieving roles.

Currently, she serves as the Dean of Studies at Bard High School Early College in Manhattan and is a dedicated mother and wife.

Recently, she launched her podcast, “Adulting 101 Tips For Your Teenage Years & Beyond," where she continues to inspire and educate through her discussions. I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Dr. Adeodat, as she exemplifies the African woman who excels in multiple roles. She challenges the misconception that women cannot excel in diverse areas. Her dedication and achievements are truly inspiring and fascinating. I hope you find her interview as enjoyable and enlightening as I did. She is a personal hero of mine.

In this week's podcast episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Ms. Helen Leale Greene, an inspiring individual dedicated to educational work in Zambia.

As an African, I deeply appreciate the significance of Helen's work in helping underprivileged youth access university education and providing them with essential guidance and support. I am genuinely excited to witness her continued growth and impact.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 파라의 삶의 더 많은 층| - More Layers of Life - Exploring Farah’s Journey from Childhood to Blended Family (Part 2): Episode 11 (2023)

In this week's continuation of Farah's life journey, we were joined by Tony, her husband, and our session together was truly enjoyable. Tony, former military personnel, described his marriage to Farah as one of the greatest adventures of his life. Despite societal perceptions of second marriages, their unique story, which began when they met in church during their respective divorces, has resulted in a successful union of over 25 years.

During our conversation, Tony shared deeply personal experiences that have shaped his perspective on family. He revealed that the time he discovered he had a 17-year-old son, a surprising revelation that turned his world upside down (for good). Additionally, he opened up about the pain of being estranged from his daughter for seven long years. These challenges have tested his resilience and reshaped his understanding of fatherhood.

Despite these hardships, Tony's love for his children knows no bounds. He expressed a profound desire to see them live fulfilling lives guided by their own choices and the will of God. He emphasized the importance of allowing them to explore, take risks, and grow, even if it meant they had to be physically distant from him. Tony's unwavering support and acceptance shine through as he embraces the complexities of parenthood.

Tony and Farah have built a blended family with six children, each with a unique story and background. Their journey as a family is filled with anticipation for the future, including the joy of being grandparents. Their commitment to love, understanding, and overcoming challenges has fortified their bond.

We met at church through a mutual friend, and our connection was instant. Farah's restaurant recommendations proved trustworthy, and she and her husband even became godparents to our Arii. 

Our conversation was so engaging that it spanned various topics, including Farah's childhood experiences, her parent's divorce, her first marriage, and her current blended marriage. The session was so captivating that we split it into two parts for the podcast. Farah's layered personality and unique experiences, such as being part of a blended family, added depth to our discussion. Join us as we delve into Farah's remarkable story, exploring her childhood, relationships, parenting, and everything in between.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 정체성을 되찾기 위한 여정| The One with William- From Manning to Edoziem: An African-American Man’s Journey to Redeeming Identity and Homecoming to the Igbo Nation: Episode 9 (2023)

This week's podcast episode featured William Edoziem and his wife, Hailey, who came over to share their story. William was born and raised in Indianapolis, IN, and studied African and African-American studies at Indiana State University. He describes himself as a son of God, a follower of Jesus, a poet, a human rights activist, an occasional dancer, and a music junkie. He is passionate about empowering BIPOC and other marginalized communities by ensuring their voices are heard. As a fellow Nigerian, I was particularly interested in his journey of discovering his roots.

During our conversation, we talked about what it was like for William growing up, how he felt when he discovered his Igbo heritage, and what it's like tracing his roots. We also discussed his decision to change his last name, which he had wanted to do since high school. It was fascinating to hear about Hailey's perspective on the journey and how she has supported him along the way.

As William is a vocal Christian, we also touched on his faith and how it intersects with his identity. We ended the episode with a naming ceremony, making it unique. William changed his surname from Manning to Edoziem, Hailey received an Igbo name, and so did their son. Overall, it was a wonderful conversation that explored culture, identity, and faith.

집으로 돌아가는 길 찾기| On Finding Home: An African American Woman's Journey To Reconnect With Her Roots In Africa: Episode 4 (2023)

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 집으로 돌아가는 길 찾기| On Finding Home: An African American Woman's Journey To Reconnect With Her Roots In Africa: Episode 4 (2023)

In this week's episode, I interviewed Suzette Vearnon, an author and speaker helping women over 40 redefine what makes them enough in life and love on their terms. 

This episode was about tracing her roots. Growing up in the Jim Crow South, Suzette Vearon experienced the deculturalization and assimilation of dark-skinned people, leading to feelings of unworthiness and self-perception. The sudden loss of her last parent, turning 63, and a looming pandemic caused turmoil inside her, leading her to seek her identity. These events, coupled with watching Marvel's Black Panther, Suzette was inspired to trace her African roots, where she discovered she was 99% African, with a significant part of that DNA being Esan and Mende. By connecting with the richness of these cultures, Suzette has transcended the limiting definitions she's been taught as a Black person in America. She now aims to offer pathways to mental and emotional freedom as a life coach and relationship solutionist, especially for Black women. Suzette believes connecting with her roots has been a crucial part of her journey to understanding her worth and enoughness. During our conversation, we delved into the various obstacles she has encountered since childhood and how she overcame them. Our discussion ended on an empowering note emphasizing the significance of discovering one's identity and realizing they are sufficient and will always be so. 

PS: I would love to hear your story about how you have identified with your roots and the steps you have taken to reconnect with them. Suzette is also willing to connect with the Esan and the Mende tribe; if you know anyone from that tribe or you are from that tribe, please send us a message, and we will be glad to make the connection.
