The Untimely Podcast

On this episode, Karen takes over The Untimely Podcast mics for a revamped take on young adulthood and what it truly means to her to be a young adult — navigating the uncertainty, the expectations and the quiet pressures of having to “figure life out.”She opens up about the realities that come with this phase of life ,the highs, the doubts and the in-between moments and why it’s so crucial to keep putting yourself out there, even when you’re unsure of what’s next. It’s an honest reflection on growth, self-discovery and learning to embrace the process.This conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out to keep going.We hope you enjoy this episode as much.Lots of love,K and D ♡♡

On this episode, I dive into Fall/Winter 2026 and the essence of the season. This is the moment when designers present their collections, shaped by their inspirations and creative direction.This season, many designers paid homage to their house codes and longstanding traditions of craftsmanship, while also signaling a pivotal shift in how we approach reimagination and the “redefinition” of archival pieces.Tune in as I explore standout collections from major houses—ranging from Louis Vuitton to Fecal Matter and Pieter Mulier’s Alaïa.I hope this episode gives you deeper insight into what truly defines Fall/Winter collections. I enjoyed making it, and I hope you enjoy listening just as much.Lots of Love, Dennis♡

On this episode I decided to breakdown one of the most polarizing topics in our Kenyan society: Suicide.Suicide has been one of the most stigmatized topics in Kenya which has made it hard for a lot of people struggling with suicidal thoughts and generally mental health issues. On this episode specifically I want to raise awareness on the need to create a safe space for people to share their struggles with mental health and how we can be more sensitized to mental health issues and its complexities.I hope this episode provides comfort to anyone struggling and that it echoes that they are truly seen, understood and LOVED.If you need help and a community for support with suicide prevention Befrienders Kenya is an amazing place to find that emotional support.

On this episode I got candid and a bit emotional over the forgotten issues currently plaguing the global south, violence and wars.This episode for me was a way to speak out on the plight of the people who the international community has forgotten. This are the people of DRC , the Sudanese people and the Women of Afghanistan. The international community has been silent on their plight for liberation and freedom, no major headlines is being created for them, no one is creating a hashtag for them yet they are the most vulnerable right now.In Sudan for example a famine is looming due to the blockade of aid and other humanitarian aid into the various regions in Sudan being plagued by war. What is the international community doing to end this evil plaguing the people of these regions ?where are the western activists when there voices are crucially needed by the people of DRC ,Sudan and the apartheid women of Afghanistan?Listen in as I break this down and dive into what is really happening and what lies ahead for the international human rights.

On this episode of the Untimely Podcast I dive into what my August music listen has been and gurl, I have been HOOKED. This month it’s all about my African queens, Amaarae and Tyla!!!!I’ve been tapped into these artists for YEARS now, and honestly I feel like we don’t talk about them nearly enough. Their sound, their vision, their artistry,it deserves way more shine.And of course, I couldn’t leave out one of the most CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED artists of our time… the one and ONLY MUVAAAA FKA TWIGSSSSSS. Like, y’all are really sleeping on FKA;her discography, her catalogue, and most importantly, her art form? ICONIC.So tune in as I loath, dissect, and celebrate these three amazing queens and the magic they’re serving in music right now.Lots of Love,D🩷

On this episode of The Untimely Podcast, I got candid and shared what I’ve been observing on the internet ― performative activism, or as others might prefer to call it, virtue signaling.I thought it wise to talk about it, as I’ve been noticing it for a while now.As I mentioned in the episode, this is merely an observation and not a “self-proclaimed righteous take.” I, too, am susceptible to virtue signaling, as I point out in the discussion.I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed making it, and I’d love to hear y’all’s thoughts plus any instances where you’ve found yourself “virtue signaling.”[Side note: The pause before I introduced the topic was due to me moving around, so the mic didn’t capture my voice clearly. Don’t mind it the rest of the episode makes up for it.]Lots of love,D 🩷

On this episode of the Untimely Podcast, I dive into matters of love and relationships at large!Yes, I said it — I spoke about it, and yes, I did over-explain my reasons why we are SWIPING LEFT ON RELATIONSHIPS.

[Disclaimer there isn't any study or research done on this specific topic but rather a formed opinion by me]I hope you guys enjoy this episode, this was so spontaneous and I felt like we didn't talk much about this, with that I will see you on another exciting episode of The Untimely Podcast🩷👄
