Smiling Pen

You are looking at a version of me that required distance.

Peace ✌🏽.

Realizing having 3 siblings means one of us will see all the funerals.

One will see none, and one won't have any at theirs.
Life!

It’s ‘okay’ to take a break.
It’s ‘okay’ to cry.
It’s ‘okay’ to be tired.

Don’t let the society make you hate yourself for being human.

Be that human your older self will be proud of in years to come.
Live now, while you can!

Here, the true chronicles of immigration will unfold—it will be raw, real and true.
Stay connected.

A seed can leave the soil it was planted in, and still grow.

For many of us living far from where we started, the question never really leaves: Where is home now?

Second Soil is a podcast about identity, migration, belonging, and the stories we carry across borders. Real conversations with people building new lives while staying rooted in where they came from.

This is more than a podcast.
It’s the shared experience of anyone who has ever had to grow in unfamiliar ground.

🌱 Launching April 14, 2026
🎙 Hosted by Ola

Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube.

Follow the journey.
Because sometimes the soil changes, but the roots remain.

I don’t care what some of these men say, my WOMAN is my priority, and I’ll spend on her and provide for her.
My money is her money, and that’s it!

A child is going to remember who was there, not what you spent on them. Kids outgrow toys and outfits, but they never outgrow time and love.

My finest pictures are taken during my most difficult and unhappiest days.
Pictures sometimes tell lies.
In the meantime, we keep taking them and keep the memories.

After 10 seasons of LOVE IS BLIND, I think we can all come together and agree that Love is NOT Blind.

The way your family treats you when you're broke, is how they'I treat your children when you're dead.
Build a home and start an investment for your kids.
