For this episode of Random Musings, I reflect on three powerful qualities that define Nigerians—resilience, creativity, and the ability not to sweat the small stuff. These traits have helped us thrive in challenging environments, making us resourceful, adaptable, and forward-thinking. Yet, in certain moments, they can also be a double-edged sword.
How does our resilience sometimes lead to unnecessary endurance? Does our creativity sometimes come at the cost of structure? And does our ability to brush off the small stuff sometimes mean ignoring bigger, systemic issues?

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
