About this listen
Episode 12 -- This week’s Wednesday Wahala unpacks a saying many women—especially Nigerian women and those in the diaspora—know all too well: “Men will spoil your white.” We’re flipping the script and focusing on a bigger truth—white doesn’t spoil itself. No matter how polished, faithful, or graceful you are, someone else’s recklessness can stain your reputation. And too often, the shame lands on you instead of the person who caused the mess.We dig into what “spoiling your white” really means—from public cheating and social media antics to reckless public comments, secret lives exposed, and shady dealings that suddenly have your name in the mix. We ask why the embarrassment so often sticks to the woman—and how to shake it off.For anyone already living through it, we share practical, quiet strategies for protecting your peace and reclaiming your dignity. From setting your own PR plan to separating your identity from someone else’s mistakes, this episode is about refusing to carry stains that aren’t yours and remembering that wahala is optional—peace is not.Plus—Praise Report: We celebrate Nigerian-American designer Niyi Okuboyejo, founder of Post-Imperial, whose blend of Yoruba Adire dyeing techniques and modern menswear has earned global acclaim. His recent collaboration for Taraji P. Henson’s 2025 Met Gala look was another proud moment for African artistry on the world stage.What We’re Digging: Crawfish season calls for a trip to Crawfish Shack in Crosby, Texas—serving up Cajun-style crawfish favorites in a family-friendly atmosphere since 2004. Open January through late May—mark your calendars!
