🔊 Welcome back to my TubesOfYou and to ep.007 of Sayo Says!
If you’re joining for the first time, don’t forget to go back and watch the previous episodes !
I’m your host, Adesayo, but you can call me Sayo, and I’m so happy to have you here.
Today’s another special episode!! It’s our first episode with Auntie Sade- one of my many personas. She’ll be making more regular appearances on the show if you show her lots of love in her debut episode.
In this episode we talk about:
🤯 When I found out that names could have meanings
🔠 Where my love of words came from as a Spoken Word Artist
🌍 Immigrants vs Expat
🧑🏿🏫 The importance of good teachers
☯️ How culture informs your work, personality and sense of humour
In this episode, I talk about the origin story of how my fascination with and love of words / word formation began by me asking my parents “ what does my name mean?”. As a spoken word artist most known for my satirical poetic art style, ‘ Kpoetry’, I have a special love and respect for words that most people don’t. If you follow me on Instagram ( @simplysayo) or TikTok (@simply_sayo), you will have more context. I talk about how that single question made me existential at 8 years old and began to shape me into the person I am today and the way that I engage with words in my work and day to day life. We also touch on the importance and impact of education and good teachers; with lots of random tangents and spontaneous singing sprinkled throughout the episode.
🍿This is a must watch if you love nuance and a good story time, and thinking beyond the surface. Thank you for watching.
