They say the third time is the charm but the fifth episode of Tea With Tay featuring author and Jesus' brand influencer, Titoluwa Sam-Oladapo aka Tito the Writer packs a pleasantly unexpected punch you wouldn't see coming as it shatters many tables that Christians and several churchgoers lay on. An Ibadan-born and bred Christian, Tito had lived all her life as a devout churchgoer and minister in the church but didn't cultivate a relationship with God till 2021 after battling and overcoming Vaginismus. Tito not only opens up on dealing with that condition, but shares the trauma that led to it-- 3 series of sexual assault at age 6, 13 and 15. We also get a robust and demystifying definition that shows the difference between religion and faith, with Tito taking a stance for faith-led Christianity and the need for Christians to allot themselves and others grace instead of condemnation. Equally importantly, Tito attempts to shatter the stigma around vaginismus which while being a prevalent condition among 1 out of 4 women remains underdiagnosed due to stigma and stigmatisation, by sharing her experience of living with and overcoming it. Buckle up and sit tight for a whirlwind ride that touches richly on the core of Christianity; faith versus the art of it-- religion all while shattering sexual stigma in the gospel and the society.https://teawithtay.podlink.to/New-EpisodeClick on this link to check out @lipton_nigeria https://instagram.com/lipton_nigeria?utm_medium=copy_link Hosted on Acast.

Can you imagine being an internet sensation at age 23 after building and maintaining a much-loved brand as a comedian, content creator, influencer, Youtuber and podcaster for 3 years? This is the story of Ogechi Ukonu popularly known as Caramel. On the third episode of Tea With Tay, Temisan is joined by the bubbling internet star and she takes us back to her childhood days when she knew no boundaries or barriers. Caramel also clues us in on her rise to fame; a televised bonnet-clad rant on Game of Thrones and shortly after, a cosign from Wizkid who shared her reaction video to his song "Joro" on his Instagram feed. Fast forward to the present with over 1 million followers on Instagram and followers in hundreds of thousands on other platforms, Caramel is seated on Temisan's couch after having gone through a publicised breakup and a fair share of scandals that is enough to rock any brand off its centre. Yet, to the star's surprise, she shares that this period has been one where she witnessed an influx of gigs, sharing with Tay how this has in fact culminated in the purchase of a car. Admitting her tendency to not display vulnerability on the internet, Caramel lays bare her experience dealing with depression so deep she was unable to recognise herself. She also speaks on the emotions that triggered her publicised breakdown while battling allegations of being a victim of domestic violence. Wrapping off with a strong closer, Caramel and Temisan speak at length about friendships and the need to have a support system as well as faith in God.
