Dealing with African parents

I’m a high maintenance friend (to my 1-2 friends LMAO) and while I do have low maintenance friends (that I love and care about), I sometimes feel like social media glorifies low maintenance friendships to an unhealthy extent and pushes the narrative that because we’re getting older, we can only maintain low maintenance friendships and I completely DISAGREE. Let’s talk about it!

Growing up with African parents is ………a unique experience, to say the least. In a world where children are encouraged to obey their parents and not question authority, I advice you to be the problem. It’s never too late to be the black sheep of the family, but that’s just my opinion 🤷🏽‍♀️

Oversharing…….as usual :)

“Boys will be boys” “all men cheat” “it’s just in their nature” LOL what a silly idea that men pop out of the womb ready to hate women, as if misogyny is part of their DNA. The excuses? they’re just not hitting anymore. Let’s unpack it in this episode (trigger warning: VERY disorganized thoughts)

Breakup szn is upon us (God abeg) and with it comes a sudden rush of productivity that hits as we enter our “single era”. At the same time, there’s a little bit of disappointment like “why didn’t I pour this much into myself while being occupied with love?”. It had me thinking…..does love distract? Let’s talk about it

I’m finallyy back and this time I’m DONE with school so I’m not going anywhere! School had me in a serious chokehold from January to July, but I made it out alive 😭 Since then, I’ve been running my mouth on TikTok and honestly? It’s been the funniest thing ever. Let’s talk all about it, cause mehnn we need to catch up for real 😭

I turned 20 a couple days ago and it was only right to do a 20 things I have learnt before turning 20. Enjoy :)

This is such a common debate on the internet along with the topic of being pro-choice vs pro-life and as the economy becomes worse, having a kid may actually become restricted to only the rich. Listen to me talk about how my opinion on poor people having kids has shifted to accommodate many exceptions that we fail to consider in this episode of the zoraya effect.

I’m back (fingers crossed) and it’s only fair to start with a life update cause these past 3 months were FUNNY. Let’s talk about YouTube, school, getting a job, adult life + the fear of turning 20 in this episode of the zoraya effect.

I know I have successfully built a podcast off of me over sharing but pleasee hear me out. I think I have come to the point in my life where I just don’t want to share anything personal on social media (even private stories) because it’s just not anyone’s business. Let’s talk about seeking validation from posting on social media even if it’s just on our private stories in this episode of the zoraya effect.
