Navigating Strict African Parents While Finding Yourself | Japa Diaries Podcast

Every kid knows that delicate dance between being yourself, and being the version of yourself your parents prefer 👀

In this clip, we ask Aunty Tayo for real advice on how to navigate parent–child relationships while still figuring out who we are. From the outfits we change before going out, to full-on code-switching just to keep the peace, we get into ALL of it.

Aunty Tayo drops gems about respect, communication, and choosing your battles… while we, of course, add our usual chaos and laughter 😂
