  • Summary

  • Welcome to the Dating Unsettled Show where we dare to date differently hosted by Joy Ofodu, a Creative Executive who has reached millions of people with my original comedy content, voiceover and original stories. I am unsettled by my Nigerian culture’s expectations of dating. I’m unsettled by American dating norms and traumas. I harnessed my inner romantic and childhood dreams of a healthy BLACK relationship to author a new set of dating rules, ones that work for me, rules that made Black love not only possible but PROBABLE. I was going to fall in love, and I knew I would find it online. I refused to settle. I swiped on over 2,000 profiles, matched with over 150 fine young gentlemen and went on about 20 first dates with some amazing guys. You already got 50 apps in your phone baby, what’s one more? Dating Unsettled, where we dare to date differently. Make sure you’re subscribed anywhere where you can listen to podcasts. Follow me @joyofodu and follow the show @datingunsettled. It would help me tremendously if you would rate and review the show FIVE STARS. Thank you for your undying love and support

  • Say It Out Loud and Brown Girl Problems ft. Vasavi Kumar

    Say It Out Loud and Brown Girl Problems ft. Vasavi Kumar
    Apr 10 2024

    Joy interviews Vasavi Kumar (@mynameisvasavi) about her experiences as a Brown girl, divorcee, dater in her 40s and voice actor/author! The two really get into what it's like to grow up as immigrant kids in the U.S. with a media landscape that makes them feel Othered, with blonde white girls as the mold and parental criticism as the fire under their feet. They react to Joy's video about her voices in her head and self-talk, and chat about how you can re-frame dating woes.
