Would you send your kid back home?

In this episode, I’m joined by Brian Lunga as we dive deeper into a hot topic: sending kids back home: what it means, why people do it, and what it says about identity and migration.

Plus, we celebrate Zimbabwe’s Rugby team qualifying for the World Cup 🏉🇿🇼

And of course… that viral Coldplay concert clip 👀

Chat With Nat is taking a little summer break ☀️ I’ll be back in October with fresh episodes, bold conversations, and exciting new guests!

Until then, catch up, share your thoughts, and rest up too. ❤️

🎧 Listen now & let me know what you think.

In this episode, I sit down with award-winning author and storyteller Lolá Ákínmádé to dive into her compelling new novel Bitter Honey. We explore the layered themes in her storytelling, including the emotional weight of memory, the quiet complexities of womanhood, and the unspoken tensions that exist in mother-daughter relationships.

Lola speaks candidly about the importance of place, particularly the experiences of African migrants in Nordic countries, and how time and reflection shape both character and author. We also unpack the emotional textures in Bitter Honey - from longing and betrayal to resilience and hope, and how she crafts stories that stay with readers long after the final page.

-----------------------------

Bitter Honey is available everywhere you get books and will be out in the United States in November 2025.

In this episode, Brian Lunga joins and we discuss the South Africa's President Ramaphosa's visit to the United States and the meeting with President Trump. Did the South African delegation do enough to counter the false narrative of a white genocide in South Africa? Also discuss the complexity of Zimbabwe's Land reform programme - was land reform the right thing to do? Also, some light hearted topics too!
