Who taught Us to Doubt Ourselves?

In this episode of Soulful_convos w Khristen, I reflect on a question that feels uncomfortable but necessary: who taught us to doubt ourselves?Prompted by a visit to the Slave Trade Museum in Badagry, this conversation explores how history, colonial conditioning, media representation, and everyday societal patterns have shaped trust, identity, and self-worth in Nigeria. From the way foreign validation often feels more credible, to how success is frequently framed as leaving the country, this episode examines the subtle forms of internalised inferiority that show up in daily life—especially among Nigerian youth and women.This is not a conversation about blame or comparison, but about awareness, unlearning, and rebuilding rooted confidence. It invites listeners to reflect on how we consume media, support our own stories, and define value beyond external approval.
