Description

“Family Meeting: where wahala meets wisdom” Hosted by Torera - a lawyer, writer and storyteller - , this podcast explores how intergenerational trauma, culture and silence shape African and minority families. From discipline and migration, to love, faith, money and marriage, each episode brings together voices across generations to unpack the past, confront the present and imagine healing futures. It’s not the usual family meeting of shouting aunties and takeaway jollof. This one is about breaking cycles, building bridges and finding laughter on the way Pull up a chair. Healing starts here.
