Headscarves and Carry-Ons: Bye For Now
It has been a MINUTE but we're back with...a final episode (*sobs quietly onto the keyboard*)! We've been radio silent because life has gotten in the way, so we wanted to go out with a final bang! We've had a great time chit chatting in your ears since 2018, and we wanted to say goodbye with a final (hilarious) interview we did back in June 2021, with acclaimed author Chibundu Onuzo discussing her latest novel Sankofa - taken from the famous Twi phrase about going back to get something you've forgotten. We thought it fit the bill for our final episode. So goodbye for now - go back and listen to our previous episodes, there's nothing wrong with doing that!<br /><br />You can buy Sankofa here - <a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/books/sankofa-a-reese-witherspoon-book-club-pick-and-a-bbc-2-between-the-covers-book-club-pick/9780349013152" rel="noopener">https://uk.bookshop.org/books/sankofa-a-reese-witherspoon-book-club-pick-and-a-bbc-2-between-the-covers-book-club-pick/9780349013152</a><br />Listen to the audiobook here - <a href="https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Sankofa-Audiobook/1405545526" rel="noopener">https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Sankofa-Audiobook/1405545526</a><br />Follow Chibundu on Instagram (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/chibundu.onuzo)" rel="noopener">https://www.instagram.com/chibundu.onuzo)</a> and YouTube (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChaKp8aE8Btv3XiAu6spklg)" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChaKp8aE8Btv3XiAu6spklg)</a><br /><br />CREDITS<br />Hashtag: #headscarvesandcarryons<br />Artwork: Mocacoco.studio<br />Theme music produced by Genesis: Insta @alexakdarko<br />Twitter: @headscarvespod | @maamebluewrites | @abi_ak<br />Instagram: @headscarvespod<br />Email: <a href="mailto:headscarves.carryons@gmail.com">headscarves.carryons@gmail.com</a>

Headscarves and His Only Wife

And if you haven't heard of it, by the end of this episode you'll want to buy it - which is good because the link is below! We also discuss marriage and relationships on reality TV around the world, the impact of moving away from home and why Abi would make a great matchmaker applicant!<br /><br />Buy Peace's book here - <a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/books/his-only-wife-a-reese-s-book-club-pick-a-crazy-rich-asians-for-west-africa-with-a-healthy-splash-of-feminism/9780861540693" rel="noopener">https://uk.bookshop.org/books/his-only-wife-a-reese-s-book-club-pick-a-crazy-rich-asians-for-west-africa-with-a-healthy-splash-of-feminism/9780861540693</a><br /><br />And the audiobook here - <a href="https://www.audiobooks.co.uk/audiobook/his-only-wife-a-novel/452282" rel="noopener">https://www.audiobooks.co.uk/audiobook/his-only-wife-a-novel/452282</a><br /><br />CREDITS<br />Hashtag: #headscarvesandcarryons<br />Artwork: Mocacoco.studio<br />Theme music produced by Genesis: Insta @alexakdarko<br />Twitter: @headscarvespod | @maamebluewrites | @abi_ak<br />Instagram: @headscarvespod<br />Email: <a href="mailto:headscarves.carryons@gmail.com">headscarves.carryons@gmail.com</a>
