Show notes

Toke sits down with content creator Hauwa the woman behind some of the internet’s funniest, most brutally honest videos for an episode that opens with one running question: what’s the color of your problem? From there, the conversation moves through Hauwa’s start ghostwriting comedy skits before ever showing her own face, her refusal to hide being broke, in debt, or turned down for a UK visa, and her unapologetic stance on wanting to marry a man with money without shame. She and Toke swap notes on marrying young and leaving fast, on choosing peace and financial independence over performing a relationship for anyone’s approval. Then the tone shifts entirely as Toke opens up about surviving the house fire that took both her parents when she was eight, and what therapy finally gave her the words to say a moment Hauwa meets with real tenderness. It’s an episode that swings from pure nonsense to real devastation and back again, a reminder that some of the funniest people are carrying the heaviest things. Hosted on Acast.
