Igbo, Queer, and Unfiltered

Welcome to a podcast unlike any other, in which I bring my unique intersectional identity as a gay Igbo man from Nigeria to the forefront. This is a space where personal stories meet cultural insights, and where meaningful discussions about LGBTQIA+ issues, representation, and empowerment take centre stage. Each episode is a journey into the intricacies of being queer and African, examining themes of identity, perseverance, and visibility. As I amplify queer voices, spill some palm wine, slay

The Myths of Gay S*x

Igbo, Queer, and Unfiltered ·

2025/11/04

People like to talk about gay sex, including pastors, politicians, and even the aunties. But the conversation isn't always honest and kind. Our intimacy isn't dirty; it's real, human, and sacred.Stay ConnectedWelcome to myownkindofrunway, a place for unapologetic conversations, fashion, and queer joy.Watch more videos:https://youtube.com/channel/UC9jWWJwF_KzrY14FR9DXO4Ahttps://youtube.com/@igboqueerandunfilteredpod?si=0GZV68iNaWT5BumSVisit my website:www.myownkindofrunway.comListen to my

We Are Not Born To Be Tolerated

Igbo, Queer, and Unfiltered ·

2025/10/28

This episode calls out the false comfort of tolerance. Saying things like "We don't hate you, just don't show it" isn't progress; it's control. It's the same old oppression, but it's called "politeness."Stay ConnectedWelcome to myownkindofrunway, a place for unapologetic conversations, fashion, and queer joy.Watch more videos:https://youtube.com/channel/UC9jWWJwF_KzrY14FR9DXO4Ahttps://youtube.com/@igboqueerandunfilteredpod?si=0GZV68iNaWT5BumSVisit my website:www.myownkindofrunway.comListen to my

Why Must Our Healing Always Be a Secret?

Igbo, Queer, and Unfiltered ·

2025/10/21

What Will Our Queer Legacy Be?

Desire Is Not a Sin

Igbo, Queer, and Unfiltered ·

2025/10/07

This one is for all queer individuals who have ever been told that their body is dirty, their touch is shameful, or their intimacy is immoral. It is also for those who understand that desire is not a sign of weakness, but rather a source of power.

Quit Policing The Lives Of LGBTQIA+ People

Igbo, Queer, and Unfiltered ·

2025/09/30

God Was Used Against Me/Us

Igbo, Queer, and Unfiltered ·

2025/09/23

Stop Arguing About LGBTQIA+ People

Blood, Silence, and Betrayal

Igbo, Queer, and Unfiltered ·

2025/09/09

While family is meant to be your first home, for many queer Africans, it is also the first place where they feel silenced, erased, or threatened. This episode is for all queer people who understand that sometimes the deepest wounds come from your biological family rather than strangers.

Stop Asking Us to Educate You

Igbo, Queer, and Unfiltered ·

2025/08/19

We're going to jump right into one of the most exhausting things that queer people have to deal with: being asked to explain ourselves all the time. This can come from homophobic uncles at family gatherings or random strangers.

Respect Is Not Enough

Igbo, Queer, and Unfiltered ·

2025/08/12

This one's for all the queer Africans who were told to tone it down so they could fit in. This one is also for everyone who hid pictures of themselves, changed their voice, and didn't talk at family gatherings because they thought that would keep them safe. Respectability politics are control, not protection. They don't stop violence, rejection, or gossip; they just make it easier to erase you. They will still call you an abomination even if you follow their rules.

Is Queer Liberation a Threat to Africans?

Igbo, Queer, and Unfiltered ·

2025/08/05

This is meant for LGBTQIA+ Africans, who have been told that their existence is unimportant and that it comes from the West. It is for people who know what their rights are and won't give in any more. African governments, religious groups, and traditional gatekeepers don't dislike queer people because they think we are immoral; they dislike us because we can't be controlled, don't apologize, and can't be governed.

The Closet Isn’t Culture

Igbo, Queer, and Unfiltered ·

2025/07/15

This episode is for all queer Africans and queer people of African descent who have been told that being silent equates to being respectful and that your presence, your love, and your life must be “private” to be accepted.Silence is not culture; it is control; it is shame masquerading as tradition; and it is erasing us.

Not Respecting African Culture?

Igbo, Queer, and Unfiltered ·

2025/07/08

This episode is for all queer individuals who have been told that they are a disgrace to their lineage, as well as for those who are being silenced, mocked, or erased for simply existing. This is also intended for individuals who have heard that homosexuality is not African.

Silence Is Violence

Igbo, Queer, and Unfiltered ·

2025/07/01

This is for all queer individuals who have been told that their pain is too loud, their truth is too inconvenient, or their presence is too much. It is also for those who have witnessed fake "allies" disappear when the hate begins to creep in. Your silence when queer people are being harassed, deleted, misrepresented, or taken down says a lot. You can't be a part of our culture, style, and brilliance and then shut up when we're being attacked. There is no shame in this conversation; it is about the

Let's Take A break

Igbo, Queer, and Unfiltered ·

2025/06/17

This episode is for people who have felt bad about slowing down, who have been physically worn out by survival, and who are ready to see ease as a right instead of a reward. To rest is not to be lazy. Rest is what they never wanted us to have. It's about what it's like for queer people when everyone expects them to perform, prove, and produce just to be tolerated. We're told we need to be quiet to be safe, strong to be respected, and exceptional to be accepted. If you've ever been scared to stop,
