Episode 4: A Mother's Worst Mistake? mourning Oluwasikemi .

Omo, this one is heavy. This week, we are sitting down to discuss the heartbreaking news out of the U.S. involving a Nigerian mother, Gbemisola Akayinode, and the tragic death of her 9-year-old daughter, Oluwasikemi. We’re unpacking the facts of the case, but we’re also asking the hard questions: What happens when the 'village' we rely on back home doesn't exist abroad? We discuss the immense pressure of the immigrant hustle, the mental state required to make such a fatal error, the collective shock rippling through the Nigerian community, and the heavy weight of grief and judgment. Listener discretion is advised. Join us for a difficult but necessary conversation.
This episode was produced by Eniola Ewawunmi Busari.
