Igbo, Queer, and Unfiltered - Unlearning Internalized Homophobia and Accepting Oneself

Unlearning Internalized Homophobia and Accepting Oneself

Igbo, Queer, and Unfiltered

This episode elaborates on the process of learning to accept one's queer identity with confidence and pride. Homophobia can keep us from loving ourselves fully because of self-doubt and the heavy influence of culture, religion, and society. We look at what it looks like to let go of shame, change negative stories, and step into our truth without apologizing. This episode is for anyone who deals with queer identity in a world that tells them to hide it. Together, we say that being queer is something to celebrate, not something to overcome. Remember that you are not alone on this journey.#UnlearningHomophobia #SelfAcceptance #QueerHealing #QueerAndUnfiltered #LGBTQIANigeria #InternalizedShame #QueerPride #ComingHomeToYourself #UnapologeticallyQueer #SelfLoveJourney #VisibilityMatters #HealingAndThriving

Code switching & Surviving As A Queer Person

This episode explores the daily reality of code switching as a queer person in unsafe, unfriendly, or judgmental spaces. Many of us are constantly changing how we talk, dress, and show up to feel safe or accepted. Code switching may be rooted in survival, but it can often leave us feeling broken and exhausted. This episode is for anyone who has ever had to dim their light to stay safe, or who is looking for spaces where they can exist fully. We affirm together that our wholeness matters and that we deserve to take up space without apologizing.#QueerAndUnfiltered #Codeswitching #QueerIdentity #LGBTQIANigeria #SurvivalAndSafety #LivingInTwoWorlds #UnapologeticallyQueer #SafeSpaces #AuthenticityMatters #ComingHomeToYourself #VisibilityMatters #ThrivingAsQueer #EmotionalLabor #QueerLiberation
