Igbo, Queer, and Unfiltered

I would like to introduce you to Igbo, Queer, and Unfiltered, a space where identity, culture, and authenticity collide. This podcast serves as a celebration of what it means to be proudly Igbo, unapologetically queer, and completely unfiltered.I will take you on a journey that explores the complexities of living at the intersection of being queer and African through personal stories, cultural insights, and candid conversations. From addressing stereotypes to amplifying voices often overlooked, this podcast will provide authentic discourse, sprinkle in a dash of sass, and undoubtedly spill a little palm wine along the way. We will have thought-provoking discussions, moments of laughter, and empowering reflections, celebrate individuality, and redefine what visibility looks like in our world. Say hello to a podcast that’s loud, proud, and unfiltered—just like me. #PodcastTrailer #IgboQueerAndUnfiltered #LGBTQIARepresentation #BoldVoices #AuthenticConversations #QueerAfricanStories #CelebrateDiversity #UnapologeticTruth

This episode talks about the complicated relationship between queerness and faith. Many of us were taught that our queerness was something to hide, fear, or pray away. But what happens when we start to regain our spirituality outside of shame, silence, and survival? We look at how religion has hurt people, how colonial interpretations of faith were used to justify homophobia, and how queer people are finding their way back to spiritual truth on their terms. This episode demonstrates that faith does not have to be based in fear. This episode is also for anyone who has been told that they have to choose between their queerness or their spirituality. You don’t. You are allowed to reclaim it fully and free.#FaithNotFear #QueerAndUnfiltered #LGBTQIANigeria #SpiritualHealing #ReligiousTrauma #AfroQueerVoices #ReclaimingFaith #SpiritualLiberation #UnapologeticallyQueer #HealingAndThriving #ComingHomeToYourself #QueerSpirituality #DecolonizeFaith

This episode tackles the widespread stereotypes and misconceptions about being gay, from the belief that homosexuality is "un-African" to the dangerous myth that queerness is a "Western influence."I also address harmful assumptions, such as the notion that homosexuality is a choice, that LGBTQIA+ individuals are promiscuous, or that queer individuals can be "fixed" through marriage. Drawing from my personal experiences and larger cultural observations, I highlight the impact of these misconceptions on the lives of queer Africans and emphasize the significance of challenging these narratives. Through this conversation, I hope to encourage critical thinking, dispel myths, and push for a society that values truth over misinformation. This episode is about reclaiming our stories, redefining perceptions, and advocating for a more inclusive world.

In this episode, I am sharing a deeply personal and honest conversation about what it means to navigate life as a gay man from Nigeria. I am introducing myself and setting the tone for this journey, a space where I can amplify queer voices, celebrate Igbo culture, and have unfiltered conversations. My story is about the challenges of growing up in Nigeria, facing rejection from family and society, and the resilience it takes to embrace who I truly am. The complexities of balancing cultural pride with my identity as a queer man come into play as I discuss why representation and visibility matter, not just for me, but for so many others who feel invisible and ignored.#UnfilteredBeginnings #QueerAndProud #IgboVoices #LGBTQIARepresentation #BreakingStereotypes #AuthenticStories #IntersectionalityMatters #PodcastLaunch#PrideAndCulture

In this episode, we explore the journey of living authentically in a society that often demands conformity. I discuss the emotional and psychological challenges of embracing your truth.I share my experiences of navigating self-acceptance, overcoming internalized fears, and setting boundaries with those who refuse to respect our identity. I also stress the importance of finding a supportive community and surrounding yourself with people who affirm and uplift you. Living authentically is not always easy, but it is liberating to do so. It is a journey of self-love, confidence, and the courage to choose yourself over social acceptance. Through this conversation, I hope to inspire others to take small steps toward embracing their truth and knowing that their identity is valid and that their existence is worthy of celebration. Please take the time to listen, share your thoughts, and participate in the discussion.#LivingAuthentically #QueerAndUnfiltered #EmbraceYourTruth #SelfAcceptance #LGBTQIANigeria #QueerVisibility #ChallengingNorms #AuthenticLiving #PrideAndCulture #UnapologeticallyMe
