Show notes

SPOILER ALERT!  Ciao Everyone,  Happy 2022!!! I hope this year is filled with blessings, opportunities, and healing! We are bringing some inspiration for the months ahead:  today special guest of Diasporahod is my best friend Olivia Lifungula(IG @olivialifungula), a photographer nominated among the "New Wave: creatives 2021" by the British Fashion Council. Olivia shares with us about her journey became a photographer and the importance of not limiting yourself by your age. She was born in Congo, she great up in Belgium and she has been based in London for more than 10 years.  And of course, two awkward Black Girls like us had to discuss the Insecure Finale.  Are you team Lawarence or Team Nathan? Well as Luvvie Ajayi Jones said, the real love story in Insecure is Issa's and Molly's friendship and this has given us the opportunity to discuss mine and Olivia's friendship and how we maintain a long-distance friendship.  Enjoy xxx Benny
