Talk No Dey Cook Rice Podcast
When we were younger, we all said we would be pilots, astronauts, and "big people" when we grow up. Here we are, "in the future," and we can clearly see how it is almost impossible to achieve those big dreams.
What happened? Did we just sit aloof, expecting life to turn out great?
Well, I sit down every week on the "Talk No Dey Cook Rice Podcast" (which translates as—Talk Is Hot Air) and interview young people who are literally living their dream lives in this somewhat “hard Ghana”.
I delve into their minds to understand how they have managed to keep their heads above water.
The Podcast is a peer mentorship program. Simply getting young people who are doing exceptionally well for themselves to mentor other young people who want to do big things “when they grow up”🥂

Four Fatherhood Experiences My Colleagues Can’t Forget
I sat down with four of my closest colleagues to have an uncensored discussion about fatherhood—from every angle.
One had just become a father. Another had never seen his dad. One lost his father, and another grew up with a father who was physically present but emotionally absent. It was raw. It was real. We cried. We vented. We healed.
Beyond the stories, we explored the mental health of men, the pain many carry silently, and the impact fatherhood (or the absence of it) leaves behind. We also spoke candidly about male suicide, and why society needs to hold space for men too.
This isn’t just a conversation. It’s a call to fathers, sons, and society at large.
We even threw in some fun light-hearted moments just to breathe. Because even in pain, there’s room for joy.
⚠️ Trigger warning for some sensitive parts.
Watch. Reflect. Share.
