Meet Mama

In Episode 2 of the RJ & Mama Views of the World podcast, RJ steps confidently into the interviewer’s seat to introduce listeners to the woman behind the mic — his mum, Roianne. Through a series of thoughtful (and often funny) questions, we learn about her love for travelling, her signature colour teal, and her favourite foods, including tabouli, Guyanese fried fish, and her beloved peanut‑butter‑on‑steamed‑dumplings combo — much to RJ’s horror, given his allergies. Roianne also shares her passion for storytelling, having written around 12 books, and talks about her love for reading crime and thriller novels, painting, and exploring different cultures.The episode also reveals the values that shape Roianne’s life and parenting. She opens up about her favourite school subjects — social studies, literature, and business — and explains why she prioritises healthy living, from gym sessions to sauna time. RJ keeps the conversation lively, guessing her answers, challenging her airline preferences, and reacting dramatically to anything involving peanut butter. By the end, listeners get a warm, insightful portrait of Roianne: a creative, thoughtful, Guyanese‑rooted mum who brings depth, humour, and heart to the podcast, and whose mission is to help children — starting with her own — unlock their voices and think critically about the world.
