금융 교육| The One with Funmi Okubanjo – On financial literacy & empowering low-income families in Africa: Episode 2 (2023)

Funmi is a serial entrepreneur, an angel investor, and a humanitarian. She’s also a catalyst, a crusader by design, and very savvy with money. She’s someone who truly understands the value of bringing to life visions that have the potential to transform human lives. She has spent over 14 years in finance, education, technology, and non-profit, across sales, operations, marketing, and fundraising. Through her ventures, she’s done great work lifting women from low-income families via entrepreneurship from poverty while providing education pathways to their progenies.

In addition to helping manage some of my investments back home in Nigeria, she also serves as the mother to my godchildren. Funmi is happily married with three kids.

In this episode, we explored her life story: career and marriage, businesses (starting and losing one), coaching, financial literacy, and investment. It was a fun one!

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: The One with Stephanie Fuccio– Hysterectomy Saved My Life?

Hello Mosiblings! Merry Christmas!!!

Here’s reintroducing Stephanie Fuccio! Steph, as I call her, is an amazing ball of energy! She’s one of my podmentors who has blazed the trails for people like me. Steph was born in New York City and has intentionally taught English in a few countries in places in Asia like Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Japan, and China. She currently lives in Shanghai. She is also the host of the Geopats Podcast.

Today, I am sharing Steph’s story of her hysterectomy. Though we both agree that this is a procedure that’s too overprescribed in the US, it did save her life and relieve her of excruciating and heavy periods. Listen to hear all about this and more, especially on why we need to create more spaces for women to be able to talk about their period and vaginal health.

By sharing this episode, we both hope to have a world where women are more comfortable talking to each other about these issues. To form allies and microcommunities and hopefully strike up a conversation with the woman next to us in the waiting room or checkout line.
