In this episode of Duvet Diaries, I’m joined by Ife Ogunjobi, trumpet player in Ezra Collective, to explore the joy of making music, performing, and staying present in the moment.

We talk about Ife's love for jazz, afrobeats and music more broadly, and how he and his bandmates create an atmosphere of energy, freedom, and connection in their live performances.

Ife also shares insights into creating music with Wizkid, and his admiration for Wizkid’s ability to make timeless music that continues to shape culture. This leads into a wider conversation about artistry, intention, and what it means to create work that lasts.

At its core, this episode is about joy, creativity, and presence through music.

In this episode of Duvet Diaries, I’m joined by Sarah Louise, a model, published poet, entrepreneur, and content creator who proves that you don’t have to limit yourself to one path.

We talk about confidence, entrepreneurship, and the “CEO of the girls” mindset, touching on Sarah’s belief that if she wants to achieve something, she’ll find a way to make it happen. She also reflects on her upbringing and how the confidence her mum instilled in her growing up helped shape the woman she is today.

We also discuss Eurocentric beauty standards, and what it means for Sarah to exist in the modelling industry as a darker-skinned, curvier woman choosing to fully own her look and identity.

A conversation about confidence, self-belief, and creating your own path.
