Biola Alabi is definitely not one for imposing limits on her own possibilities; she thrives, no, revels in re-invention. From public health to super TMT (tech, media and telecom) impact investing (with a serendipitous detour into marketing), she has lived, loved, lost and thrived well enough to wear the t-shirt with her full chest.

Kind, resilient and determined, Biola navigates her complicated, ultra-high achieving tri-coastal, hyphenated life with a hard-won lightness and, yes, even joy.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Multi-generational Japaing and Japadaing; no, we didn’t coin that;
• The seven-year itch, reinvention and that Naija can do, ‘shan’t gree’ thing;
• Separation, divorce, shame and the loss of voice, of dignity;
• IVF, adoption and getting through it all with dignity (that word again) and poise – now that’s a tough call.
• Katy Perry, Whitney Houston and girl power – WE STAN!

Biola moves with a hard-won deftness in the grown-up TMT world and gives generously; with her time, her talent and investment advice.

This episode will give you back your voice and you will wonder how, why you ever let yourself lose it.
