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: 정체성을 되찾기 위한 여정| The One with William - From Manning to Edoziem: An African-American Man’s Journey to Redeeming Identity and Homecoming to the Igbo Nation: Episode 9 (2023)
This week's podcast episode featured William Edoziem and his wife, Hailey, who came over to share their story. William was born and raised in Indianapolis, IN, and studied African and African-American studies at Indiana State University. He describes himself as a son of God, a follower of Jesus, a poet, a human rights activist, an occasional dancer, and a music junkie. He is passionate about empowering BIPOC and other marginalized communities by ensuring their voices are heard. As a fellow Nigerian, I was particularly interested in his journey of discovering his roots.
During our conversation, we talked about what it was like for William growing up, how he felt when he discovered his Igbo heritage, and what it's like tracing his roots. We also discussed his decision to change his last name, which he had wanted to do since high school. It was fascinating to hear about Hailey's perspective on the journey and how she has supported him along the way.
As William is a vocal Christian, we also touched on his faith and how it intersects with his identity. We ended the episode with a naming ceremony, making it unique. William changed his surname from Manning to Edoziem, Hailey received an Igbo name, and so did their son. Overall, it was a wonderful conversation that explored culture, identity, and faith.

We've been honored with the Diasporan Podcast of The Year award from the Association of African Podcasters and Voice Artists (APVA). None of this would have been possible without your incredible support; I'm sincerely grateful.
In today's show, I'm thrilled to introduce our special guests, Mr. Süwi and Mr. Malimba , co-hosts of the Zambian podcast "The Village ZM." Their friendship, born from their mothers' high school connections, has led to this fantastic podcast.
During our chat, we reminisce about cherished childhood memories and share amusing stories about their interactions with Nigerians, highlighting our renowned hospitality. We also delve into changing narratives, stereotypes about our countries, brain drain issues, the "Zambian dream," and how our African identity shapes our global perspectives.
As we wrap up the episode, Mr. Malimba threw three intriguing questions my way:
What advice would I give my younger self?
What was I known for in primary school?
What's my favorite aspect of podcasting?
To discover my answers, be sure to listen to the full episode. Until next time, I remain your dearest Mo!

대중 연설가| The One with Brenden Kumarasamy - On Mastering Public Speaking: Episode 23 (2020)
If you are like most people, you probably have or have had a fear of public speaking. But the good news is that after hearing from today’s guest, you will discover that public speaking is not as difficult as it seems, but an art that can be learned and mastered.
In today’s episode, I have Brenden Kumarasamy on the show. He grew up in Montreal and had to learn French. He is the founder of MasterTalk, a YouTube channel he started to help the world master public speaking and communication. He coaches purpose-driven entrepreneurs on how to master their message and share their ideas with the world. He also works as a Business Transformation Consultant at IBM, where he helps clients transition to better technology HR solutions to help them do business better.
From an early age, Brenden was determined to lift his family out of poverty, and that became his motivation for going to business school and becoming a business consultant. Being a success-driven person, he competed in over 50 case competitions while in college, which provided a platform where he perfected his public speaking skills and gained years’ worth of experience coaching other students.
In this episode, Brenden shares how he stumbled into his entrepreneurial journey in public speaking, public speaking tips for polyglots, strategies to crack the fear of public speaking, the reason for his drive, and the big questions he asked himself that helped him get an early start in life.
So if you are interested in learning more about public speaking (which you should), you need to listen to this episode to find out where you can access Brenden’s amazing stash of highly educative and free content.

의학의 이면| The One with Dr. Ibukun Sonaike - The Other Side of Medical Practice: Episode 8 (2021)
The medical profession is undoubtedly one of the most influential and admired professions globally, but what's on the other side of it? My guest, Dr. Ibukun, did justice to this question.
Dr. Ibukun is from Lagos, Nigeria, where he received his medical degree. He worked as a primary care physician before studying public health and epidemiology at the graduate level. He currently resides in Washington, where he is training in pediatric critical care and hopes to contribute to improving healthcare in resource-limited settings, especially for very sick children.
In this episode, we talked about the expectations versus the reality of the medical practice, comparing the US health system with that of Nigeria and highlighting areas of improvement, and matching into residency programs. We also discussed at length the fine line between humanity and professionalism, striking the work-life balance in a rigorous profession, and what it means to be married to a doctor.
Dr. Ibukun shared some vital career advancement tips relevant to all professions, and Dr. TDawg also made a cameo. Don't miss this episode!

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: The One with Damilola Falodun
On one lazy Sunday in May, I fell into one of those YouTube black holes and ended up watching a video about Damilola - today’s guest. I remembered being transfixed for the whole 30+ minutes I watched it. It made me cry, raise my hand furiously to heaven, sigh deeply, contemplate the hearts of men and the pains we inflict on each other, and most importantly, it made me want to do something. Thus, I was moved to action to help this young lady re-tell her story in a more humanistic way, with more emphasis on the person behind the story, as I thought this element was grossly lacking in the interview I had just watched her in.
Dear friends and listeners, today, I present to you a story of Ms. Damilola Falodun, a 23-year-old native of Ekiti state, an orphan, and a survivor of human trafficking. Lured under the pretext of finding work in Oman, her and several others endured harsh conditions while in Oman. It’s a story about finding your way back home after you have lost your way, in every sense of the word. It is also one that reminds us of, perhaps most importantly, that home is always where the heart is.
Ms. Damilola is back in Nigeria now, safe, and slowly trying to build her life back. She also recently enrolled in a University to study entrepreneurship and business management. Her goal is to set up a foundation to help rescue and train young girls on artisan skills that can make them financially independent.
You can make that Ms. Damilola’s dream come true by listening to this episode, sharing it with your friends and contacts to increase awareness on this issue, or making a small donation to help Damilola get her life back. You can also do all three.

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 [email protected].
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: 파라의 삶의 층| Layers of Life - Exploring Farah’s Journey from Childhood to Blended Family (Part 1): Episode 10 (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 More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 혼자 살지 마세요|The One with Doc Ayomide - On Not Doing Life Alone & Crafting Meaningful Connections: Episode 23 (2023)
In this week's episode, we're delighted to be joined by a familiar presence on the show. A warm welcome to our new listeners as well! We're pleased to reintroduce Doc. Ayomide, a SENIOR colleague and friend. For those who may not have had the pleasure of acquainting themselves with him, Dr. Ayomide is a psychiatrist and formerly served as a co-host on the podcast!
We deeply dive into a subject that has captured our attention on multiple occasions: the intricate art of community building. Our discussion centers on the intricate art of community building, prompted by an enlightening podcast episode titled "How To Not Go It Alone" by Julie Beck and Rebecca Rashid. Drawing parallels to Stephen Covey's "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," we explore community building.
Our dialogue expands to encompass the intricate tapestry of cultures that shape our society. We candidly recount our personal encounters with culture shock after transitioning from Nigeria to the UK (for him) and from Nigeria to the USA (for me). We also delve into the captivating nuances of acceptable behaviors across different racial groups. Moreover, I share some of the enlightening perspectives I've gained through my experiences with community building as a new mother.
As we end our show, we delve into the concepts of openness and directness on an individual level. Our discussion also revolves around the essence of community building, strategies to alleviate the prevalent issue of loneliness, and the notions of freedom, independence, and interdependence.
We offer an encouraging reminder to ourselves and our listeners to be there for others, just as we would hope others to be there for us. This mutual support and understanding create a nurturing environment that enriches our lives and the lives of those around us.

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.
