Happy July, everyone! Today on the podcast, we’re introducing you to Gbemileke! Gbemileke is from Nigeria and she shares a lot about the Nigerian culture, Jollof Rice, and what it was like for her to grow up in Nigeria. Her father worked at a university, so she shares about growing up around the university’s culture.  

In this podcast, she addresses how her dad’s abusive actions towards her family caused her mom to take the kids and leave. She talks about how moving away from the university affected her and her family, how depression set in, how she would go to a Mosque on Fridays and church on Sundays, her experience with faith deconstruction, and how all of that influences her today.
