Our guests from episode 87 return for part II, this time joining us in the studio (the first episode was recorded virtually). In this episode, we delve into their experiences in New York, their interactions with Africans, and the increased political awareness and engagement of Nigerians compared to previous years, with a specific focus on social media trends during political events. We also touch on shifts in perspectives and opinions, reactions to a coming out announcement as a Lesbian, lost relationships and friendships, mental health, and more. Additionally, we explore the impact of Brexit on the work of both women in the UK, discussing both the positive and negative implications for immigrants from their point of view. For a hilarious story about Jennifer-Ann's background, be sure to listen to our 87th episode.
