The "Manifesting to Masterchef" Episode ft. Demilade Akingbe

About this episode

The episode features Chef Demilade Akingbe discussing various topics including living in Nigeria, public figures' responsibilities, and her experiences on MasterChef Nigeria.

This week, the ladies are joined by the sensational Chef Demilade Akingbe for a hilarious and completely unfiltered episode.  We kick things off with the heavy realities of living in Nigeria and the big debate over whether public figures actually have a responsibility to speak up. Things take an extra chaotic turn as the group gets into sex work, oddly specific turn-offs, and Demilade’s iconic grocery store date. For this week's unhinged dilemmas, we tackle the messy fallout of sleeping with a close friend’s younger sister, and toxic exes who suddenly realize you’re wife material. Finally, Demilade spills all the behind-the-scenes tea on her MasterChef Nigeria journey and shares the exciting things she has cooking next for My Friend’s House.
