Description
In this episode, I tell my Nigerian dad that I’m moving in with my boyfriend before marriage, and his reaction is exactly what you’d expect.
We also talk about why I secretly signed the lease first, the relatives he recruited to change my mind, and the cultural expectations placed on me as his first and only daughter.
