OH-Kay, But Seriously
Hey, I’m Kwenama (Kay) Khuzwayo, and welcome to OH-Kay, But Seriously—a serious-not-so-serious podcast where we dive into all the big (and sometimes awkward) stuff: love, mental health, personal growth, and everything in between.
I’m a Specialist Wellness Counsellor and aspiring psychologist, but mostly, I’m just figuring it out like everyone else. Expect honest chats, unsolicited advice, lifestyle content, life lessons, and maybe a few laughs along the way. An open and raw conversation on... well... anything. From my comfort space to yours.
Follow me on IG: @Kay_Khuzwayo & TikTok: @KayKhuzwayo for more!
