The Home Sayings Podcast looks at different proverbs/sayings and phrases that our family members- have said to us throughout our lives that have stuck with us and shaped us.
Together, we’ll explore their meanings, how they apply to our lives and most importantly, if it’s a home saying we’ll be passing onto the generations after us?

Meet Oseremen, a Nigerian-Canadian storyteller, documentarian and digital hoarder based in southern Alberta. He's turned a lifelong love of stories into an academic career in Anthropology and a job as a journalist.
While photography is closest to his heart, Oseremen is a jack of all trades whose creativity is powered by curiosity. He's currently really curious about speculative fiction, migration, urban planning, and the environment.
He loves to read, garden, cook and generally engage in whimsy.

Meet Lillie, a trained earth builder, writer, filmmaker and facilitator, specialising in community building. Working within a range of environmental fields has inspired her to reimagine places with community.
This embedded approach is drawn from therapeutic beekeeping, forest school facilitation and co-creating green jobs. Lillie’s work creatively engages with people, planet and place, especially in her home turf of Camden.
She enjoys processes of community building, rewilding and reimagining with elders, birds, refugees, youth, pollinators and inner city communities. From bird ringing in Albania, to earth architecture restoration in the Sahara, Lillie's diverse perspectives are carving out a new culture.
Rooted in climate justice, she has also been involved in projects reimagining and rewilding London, leading her to found Rewild the Ends.
