BTL podcast: Recent Episodes
Beyond The Line
We are three sisters, growing up as second generation British Nigerians. Trying to build our empires. Black women, wives and mothers. The trifecta experience means we are constantly living and learning, inspired by a vision that is more than ourselves.
BTL (Beyond the Line) podcast started in July 2019 as IGeNIGHT podcast. We use this space to do three things: collide, create and connect.
This episode we're talking about getting ready or Christmas, chatting crap about each other - and generally catching up. This is Yewande, Titilola and Bukola at their most typical behaviour with each other.
Well, Yewande is an official American citizen now and she voted for the first time! We are talking about our views on the election, why it's important that non-Americans pay attention and what the future could look like for our children.
We show our vulnerability because this is also our strength. There is a lot going on in the world and within our immediate lives too. This episode is about how life can be overwhelming, uncertain - but we turn to our tribe, things you believe in, things that support your mental wellbeing - to keep on going.
What Would You Do If You Were a Man for a Month?
Hmmm...
-
not talk over women?
-
take up less space?
-
don't spread your legs so wide on the tube/bus/any seat?
We're just joking! (Kinda)

It's Black History Month - Yay! Or Nay?

This is our 5th episode and we're discussing Cardi B and Meg Thee Stallion's song, 'WAP'. Is it just a harmless video about sex? Or is it more detrimental to how women in media are portrayed?

Hello and welcome! This is Episode 2 of BTL Podcast and we are chatting about BLM and how it should still be on everyone's agenda. In workspaces and places, amongst family, friends and colleagues - we should all still be talking about and moving towards highlighting injustice, calling out antiblackness and supporting the movement.
