28. I Can Be Free - Tolu Agbelusi

This month we abandon regular programming as podcast host Tolu Agbelusi takes the hot seat and is interviewed by Diana Onuma who was our guest in November 2025. Tolu is a poet, playwright, editor, artist and former lawyer. She is also the author of Locating Strongwoman. She shares her journey of creative self-expression, exploring themes of authenticity, legacy, and the complexities of mother-daughter relationships. She reflects on the impact of her work, the challenges of unlearning societal and family expectations, and the importance of self-acceptance. Tolu emphasizes the need for open communication in relationships and the value of embracing discomfort for personal growth. Engage with Tolu's work here:www.ToluAgbelusi.comBuy Locating StrongwomanInstagramSupport the showI am always keen to hear your thoughts, so do leave comments or feedback: Email WebsiteInstagramTwitterThe music for Unlearning Strongwoman is created by Shade JosephLocating Strongwoman, a poetry collection by Tolu Agbelusi can be purchased here.#ToluAgbelusi#Unlearning #UnlearningStrongwoman #StrongBlackWoman #Conditioning #WomenEmpowerment
