  • TATG S2E8: What Happens When Someone Dies In The Diaspora | Season 2 Finale
    May 22 2025

    In this season finale of To All the Girls Who Have Moved Before, we have a raw and heartfelt conversation about grief in the diaspora. Jessica and Seun sit with two guests - Ada and Zikora - living in Canada as they share the emotional experience of losing a close friend who had also moved from Nigeria. From breaking the news to her family back home to navigating funeral plans across continents, they reflect on the weight of responsibility and the pain of grieving so far from home.


    Jessica also opens up about a deeply personal loss—her father passed away in Nigeria in 2020, while she was living in London during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. With no family nearby and the world on lockdown, she was forced to navigate the lonely and surreal process of grieving in isolation.


    This episode holds space for the layered emotions of loss, love, and long-distance mourning. It’s about what it means to carry grief while living abroad—and how we find strength in community, even when home feels out of reach.

  • TATG S2E7: U.K. Government Cracks Down On Immigration while Nigerian Pastors Overshare... Again
    May 15 2025

    The UK is cracking down on immigration — again. In this episode, we break down what’s changing, how it’s affecting immigrants like us, and why it feels like the goalposts keep moving.


    Then we shift gears and ask: why do some Nigerian pastors love sharing way too much about their marriages in public? From immigration stress to pulpit overshares, we cover it all with honesty, humor, and a little side-eye.

  • TATG S2E6: Shona's Guide to Making Friends as an Adult
    May 8 2025

    In this episode, Seun and Shona (extrovert extraordinaire) dive into the art of making friends as adults. Shona shares her journey from growing up in Scotland and New Zealand to finding her place in London, reflecting on how her outgoing nature has shaped her friendships.


    We explore the ripple effect of connection, from Shona’s community Farrago growing from a small friend group to a thriving music platform, to the power of 1:1 brunches versus house parties for building different types of friendships.


    Whether you’re an extrovert or a bit more reserved, this episode covers how to reach out, follow up without feeling awkward, and build a meaningful network in a big city.
