The longer I live, the more I learn. When I was a child, there were so many things that were normal to me. Now that I'm older and wiser, I know myself a lot better, and I realize that some of the things I thought were normal were actually patriarchal cultural norms that don't serve women. I'd admit that I fell for some of them, and as I live and learn, I will continue to unlearn every norm that inhibits me.

For this episode, my guest is Olabisi Ajai Layode. Do you know her? Let me tell you a little bit about her. She used to go by Olu Bunmi on Facebook, but now, she's Ola Bisi. She has a steadily active wall with over 35,000 followers --- on her personal profile page. Crazy, no? Ola Bisi is a published author and founder of Greenlands Haven Foundation. She is an advocate for the empowerment of women, and she blogs under the name of Jopa’s Daughter. Connect with Ola Bisi on her Facebook page, on her blog, and via email: bunmiajai@yahoo.com
