서른 다섯이 되다| The One with Mo! – On Version 3.5: Episode 31 (2021)

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents:

 

Being on the receiving end of questions feels strange but in a good way. I turned 35 recently and decided to have a reflective moment with my friend, Linda.

 

Linda is back! Linda Jena, my dear friend, and sister, came back from the Proust questionnaire interview with even more deeply reflective questions.  Linda is one of the show's most committed supporters. She is from Zimbabwe and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree at Texas A&M University in Commerce, TX.

 

This episode was soul-searching and self-reflective for me. In this episode, we talked about living life, joy, pride, faith, the importance of finding your tribe, and most importantly, learning lessons and moving forward amidst grief and disappointments.

 

Brace yourself for bolder stories, and please let us know how we can better serve you and what topics you'd like for us to explore.

아프리카인과 한류| The One with Chulu Chansa – On Africans and Korean Entertainment: Episode 30 (2021)

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents

 

Africa is a beautiful continent with rich and diverse cultures. We are bursting with stories, but our global impact has had a minimal reach. Chulu and I reflected on our childhood memories as Africans, the evolution of media, and our shared love for Kdramas. Way before The Squid Game garnered the cross-national status it has gained, Chulu and I have more than two decades' combined worth of experience indulging in Korean entertainment. The Squid Game is one example of Korean entertainment's broad reach and acceptability, and we are excited about this.

Chulu Chansa, this week's guest, is a Zambian podcaster, a writer of modern African culture & lifestyle blog, the host of the Africana Woman podcast, a transformational speaker, and mentor. She joined me on this episode to explore the different aspects of the entertainment industry and mostly Korean entertainment.

In this episode, we talked about our favorite shows and what we love about Korean dramas, what African countries can learn from Korea, and the potential of boosting tourism and cultural explorations in Africa via a boon in the entertainment sectors.

Though the views we expressed in this episode are subjective and can change, this episode is generally entertaining, insightful, and nostalgic. It's also a testament that when someone from the southern part of African meets another from the West, it's always a fun time!

Are you a Kdrama lover as well? Have you ever considered learning the Korean language?

 

Best,

Mo!

프루스트 설문지| The One with Linda Jena – On Self-Exploration with The Proust Questionnaire: Episode 29 (2021)

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents:

The Proust Questionnaire, popularized by the novelist Marcel Proust, is a self-exploration questionnaire designed to help people uncover their outlook on life and personality and offer clarity on how they think and what they truly value most in life. Using some questions from the Proust questionnaire, my friend Linda and I explored ourselves.

 

Linda Jena, who hails from Zimbabwe, is currently getting her Ph.D. in Commerce, Texas. She is not new to the show, and as she cracks me up all the time, I could not think of any other person to do this with.

 

In this special episode, Linda and I shared some private truths about our personalities. All told, this was a brave expedition of self, bounded within the safety of a friend and sister.

 

I am curious to know this about you: "If money was no object, what (else) would you be doing in life?"

 

Listen below to hear our full conversation.

 

Proustly Yours,

Mo!
