My Yoruba Accent
from AFTER SILENCE Hosted by Ciruntefla
Growing up, my Yoruba was never perfect. Some people laughed. Some people judged. Some assumed I didn’t understand. For years, I wondered if speaking Yoruba fluently made someone “more Yoruba.” In this episode, I share my journey of insecurity, identity, growth, and why I’m proudly Yoruba despite my imperfections. This isn’t just a story about language. It’s a story about accepting who you are while never being afraid to keep learning. And somewhere in the story there's a challenge for anyone who think pounded yam has competition in the food market. Welcome to AFTER SILENCE.
