Bad Guys

Bad Guys

Welcome to Naija Girl Talks Podcast, where we explore the unique experiences and challenges faced by Nigerian American women in the millennial and gen-z generations.

As a Nigerian American woman, you may feel caught between two worlds – the cultural traditions of your Nigerian heritage and the modern, fast-paced society of the United States. Navigating this balance can be difficult, but you are not alone.

On this podcast, we will discuss topics such as career advancement, relationships, mental health, and cultural identity. We will hear from Nigerian American women who have faced these challenges and come out on top, as well as experts who can provide guidance and support.

Join us as we celebrate the strength and resilience of Nigerian American millennial women and empower each other to thrive in this exciting and complex world.

In this episode, we have Grace and Femi for "Bad Guys," where we discuss why do Naija Girls love Bad Guys!?

The first episode is here, and you know we had to cover the #EndSARS protest in Nigeria and abroad. SARS (Special Anti-Robbery Squad) was created to stop scammers and fraudsters. Instead, they have been attacking, harassing, extorting, raping, and killing the youths for having an iPhone, dressing "nice," having tattoos, or just simply crossing their paths. Though the issue is back home, the fight is here in our backyard as well. Listen as Sandra and Deola share their perspective on the matter as Nigerians living abroad.

With the pandemic having everyone's life on pause, America couldn't continue to ignore the elephant in the room: police brutality. We must start to recognize the racial injustice and oppression that Black Americans have faced in this country, but we must also discuss the roles we as Nigerian Americans have played in the great divide in the African Diaspora. Join the conversation as our podcast guests Nicole, Charles and Deb share their thoughts of the state of the country and their heart pain.
