The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 인도의 성별 기반 폭력|The One with Anjali Chakkissary - Stories from India: The Complexities of Gender-Based Violence: Episode 16 (2024)

Today’s episode explores the complexities of gender-based violence, featuring a heartfelt conversation with Anjali Chakkissary, an international student from India. Anjali's journey from Gujarat to the U.S. has been filled with challenges and triumphs, and her insights into gender inequality are both powerful and poignant.

Our discussion illuminated the stark realities women in India face, including the harrowing impact of patriarchal norms and recent tragedies like the assault and murder of a young resident doctor in Kolkata. Anjali’s reflections reveal the harsh truth about systemic failures, legal inefficiencies, and the victim-blaming that permeates society.

Yet, amid the sobering details, Anjali’s stories also bring a glimmer of hope. She passionately advocates for women’s safety and empowerment, emphasizing the need for early education on consent and respectful relationships. Her vivid descriptions of her home state, Kerala, and its cultural richness contrast sharply with the grim realities she describes, making her message even more impactful.

This episode isn’t just a conversation; it’s a call to action. Join us as we amplify voices like Anjali’s and work together to create a world where women everywhere can live free from fear and full of hope. Listen now, and let’s keep the conversation going.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 이민과 남성성 예술|The One with Mayowa Nwadike - The Artistic Journey: Embracing Vulnerability and Self-Expression: Episode 15 (2024)

Today, I'm excited to introduce you to Mayowa Nwadike, a super-talented mixed-media artist from Nigeria who is now making waves in the United States. Mayowa’s art is special—it touches on topics like toxic masculinity and the immigrant experience, all through the magic of acrylic and charcoal.

Mayowa’s work is like a mirror held up to society, reflecting how our norms and expectations can sometimes fuel toxic masculinity. But here’s the cool part—he’s not just pointing out the problem; he’s flipping the script and pushing for a more inclusive take on gender roles. We had a great chat about this, and he opened up about his childhood in a religious household, growing up with three siblings, and how family favoritism shaped his emotional world and, ultimately, his art. It’s all about those subtle, often unspoken feelings that he captures so brilliantly.

But wait, there’s more! Mayowa also took us through his artistic evolution—from his early pencil sketches to the abstract pieces he started experimenting with during the 2020 lockdown. His art is a visual diary, filled with the raw emotions of migration, identity struggles, and the complexities of manhood. We touched on some pretty important stuff, like mental health, breaking those old-school gender stereotypes, and why it’s so crucial for men to embrace their vulnerability and express their emotions.

Trust me, you don’t want to miss this conversation!

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 쇼군|The One with Doc Ayomide - The Art of Storytelling in "Shogun": A Reflection on Culture and Tradition: Episode 14 (2024)

In this episode of The More Sibyl Podcast, I’m joined by my fellow cinephile, Doc Ayomide, for an engaging discussion on Shogun (2024), the captivating FX series based on James Clavell’s novel. Set in 17th-century Japan, Shogun delves into the intricate dynamics of power, love, and cultural conflict during political upheaval.

Doc Ayomide and I explore how the powerful stories within Shogun shape our understanding of historical events and resonate with our modern lives. We discuss the delicate balance between authenticity and drama in historical shows, emphasizing how Shogun navigates the complexities of honor, loyalty, and strategic decisions.

Our conversation highlights the personal sacrifices that characters—and, by extension, people—make to stay true to their values. We also reflect on broader themes, such as the role of honor in shaping identity, the importance of relationships, and the nuanced portrayal of cultural differences. Doc Ayomide offers a fresh perspective on how these themes mirror real-life scenarios, where loyalty and strategy often come at a significant personal cost.

In addition, we touch on the evolution of media consumption, comparing the communal experience of weekly episode releases to the binge-watching culture popularized by streaming platforms. We also discuss how Shogun uses language and translation as powerful tools for both connection and conflict.

As we wrap up, it becomes clear that understanding these dynamics enriches our appreciation of storytelling while offering valuable life lessons. Whether you’re a history buff, a media enthusiast, or someone looking to explore the intersection of culture and character, this episode has something for you. Tune in for an insightful exploration of how Shogun reflects the dualities of life and how our engagement with media continues to shape our perspectives on both the past and present.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 다시 시작하자, 우리|The One with Mo!Nologue - On Diverse Stories, New Perspectives: Episode 1 (2024)

Dear Mosiblings,

In this episode of The More Sibyl Podcast, we welcome you all to Season 7 with immense gratitude. Reflecting on our journey since April 2018, your support has been invaluable. This season promises engaging and diverse discussions on workplace dynamics, personal resilience, and more. Entering our sixth year and seventh season feels surreal yet immensely rewarding. Reflecting on this journey, I'm reminded of the wisdom shared by Ira Glass about the creativity gap. He aptly described the initial phase of a creative journey as a period where there's often a disparity between our vision and the quality of our work. While it may be discouraging when our efforts fall short of expectations, it's essential to recognize the significance of these early steps in our growth process.

Embracing the imperfections of our early episodes was key to reaching Season 7. This season, we'll continue our authentic storytelling, exploring diverse experiences, asking tough questions, and building community. As we gear up for Season 7, we're expanding our team. If you're a young creative looking to join us in post-production, brand sponsorship, or social media management, send your resume and cover letter to talktomo@mosibyl.com.

On a personal note, the past few months have been filled with both challenges and growth. While I eagerly anticipate sharing my stories with you, some are still in progress to ensure that everyone's privacy and dignity are respected. Season 7 will serve as a celebration of diversity, featuring engaging narratives, and unveiling fresh perspectives.

Thank you for being an integral part of our journey. Here's to an enriching and inspiring Season 7!

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 전립선암에 대한 승리| The One with Mr. Perry Cole - Triumph over Prostate Cancer: Episode 15 (2023)

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. His journey began with a prostate cancer diagnosis in June 2021, followed by radical prostatectomy in August of the same year. As of June 2023, his PSA levels (blood test for prostate cancer) have remained undetectable for two years, indicating successful treatment.

Mr. Cole's proactive approach to health is highlighted as he took charge upon receiving his diagnosis and emphasized early detection. He advised his sons to monitor their PSA levels due to the potential genetic link, inspiring others to prioritize their well-being. As a father to two sons and three daughters, his cancer diagnosis prompted important health discussions within the family, emphasizing the value of familial support.

Throughout his journey, Mr. Cole discovered effective coping mechanisms for the challenges of prostate cancer. He emphasizes the importance of regular check-ups, open communication with healthcare providers, and seeking professional help for mental well-being. Despite changes in sexual functioning, he cherishes moments with his children and grandchildren, exemplifying a positive outlook on life.

Mr. Cole's story showcases the power of proactive health management, strengthening family bonds, and maintaining a positive mindset. His experiences and advice provide valuable insights for those facing a cancer diagnosis, reminding us of the potential for resilience and determination to lead fulfilling lives, even in the face of adversity.

This pivotal shift opened up new opportunities for her, ultimately leading to her successful application for the prestigious R01 award from the American Academy of Oral Medicine.

Our discussion delved into important aspects of oral healthcare, guided by Dr. Omolehinwa's exceptional expertise and engaging demeanor.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 잠비아 청소년 지원| The One with Helen Leale-Green - Empowering Zambia's Youth and Transforming Education: Episode 12 (2023)

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. I initially met Helen during a panel discussion on education in Africa, where her passion for the subject was evident. After the discussion, I approached Helen and invited her to feature on my podcast, leading to this episode.

Helen is the founder and CEO of an impactful charity called Our Moon, which focuses on empowering bright but financially disadvantaged young Zambians. She also serves on the executive committee of HALI Access Network. Her mission is to ensure equitable access to education and university opportunities for young Africans, enabling them to reach their full academic potential and become catalysts for positive change in the continent. Currently residing in the UK with her husband and dog, Helen is a proud mother of three grown sons.

During our conversation, Helen shared insights into her early career, her decision to switch paths, and the remarkable achievements of her organization thus far. 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.

Listen to this episode to hear about Helen's inspiring journey and learn more about her incredible work to transform lives through education.

Thank you for your continued support, and stay tuned for more engaging episodes.

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.

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.

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.

마이크가 흔들릴 때| When the Mic Shakes: A Journey Back to Confidence as a Podcast Host: Episode 3 (2023)

Guess who's back with a lot of energy and some confidence? Yes, your favorite podcast host is back! I don't know anyone better to return here with and discuss my walk to podcasting confidence than Bimpe, my childhood friend. Yes, I lost some confidence, and this episode was my attempt to regain it. Or a semblance of it. What caused this loss in confidence? Well, turned out it was several factors. You gotta listen to find these out.

We discussed the difficulty of maintaining hobbies and passions when life becomes hectic. Bimpe offered helpful advice on rekindling interest in things you once enjoyed amidst the concept of self-limitation and the importance of self-discipline. Finally, the conversation concluded with a powerful message to never give up on your dreams, no matter how difficult they appear to pursue.

 금융 교육| The One with Funmi Okubanjo – On financial literacy & empowering low-income families in Africa: Episode 2 (2023)

Funmi is a serial entrepreneur, an angel investor, and a humanitarian. She’s also a catalyst, a crusader by design, and very savvy with money. She’s someone who truly understands the value of bringing to life visions that have the potential to transform human lives. She has spent over 14 years in finance, education, technology, and non-profit, across sales, operations, marketing, and fundraising. Through her ventures, she’s done great work lifting women from low-income families via entrepreneurship from poverty while providing education pathways to their progenies.

In addition to helping manage some of my investments back home in Nigeria, she also serves as the mother to my godchildren. Funmi is happily married with three kids.

In this episode, we explored her life story: career and marriage, businesses (starting and losing one), coaching, financial literacy, and investment. It was a fun one!

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: The One with Ms. Kemi Seriki – On Stories from Africans in the Diaspora

It’s Black History Month on this side of the pond. Though we get the shortest month in the year we gon’ make it loud and long. And what better way to do this than having a chat with a Nigerian who’s passionate about pan-African relationships and has made it her life work to close the social distance between our cousins (Blacks abroad) and us? I chatted with Ms. Kemi Seriki of the Pánsá Pánsá Forum, a Nigerian immigrant of Yoruba ethnic diversity.

We talked about life in the diaspora, staying connected to the Motherland, negotiating national, ethnic, and racial identities as Black immigrants, improving race relations with native-born Blacks and other communities, and so much more.

I shared two particular incidents when I thought I had lost my little girl and how that made me feel. Bimpe shares her own experience with grief and how this affected her. We also have a well-rounded conversation around various topics, such as the safety of children and tips on grieving, abuse, and healing.

무슨 냄새야?| The One with Olabimpe Shode - What’s That Smell?: Episode 33 (2022)

Guess who's back? Yes, you guessed right, it's Olabimpe! My “I'll say it as it is, won't hide the truth from you” friend. This week, we are keeping it real (as always) and exchanging tips and stories about personal hygiene. Crotch smell, funky boxes, body odor, mouth odor - we went there, all the way, without holding anything back!

Ours today is a conversation some people may be uncomfortable with, but it is essential because there are lessons to learn that may help someone out there.

Also, my co-host Ayomide won't be with us for a while, so it's just us for the time being. Enjoy the episode, and take care of your boxes!
