In this episode, Tay sits down with Miss Demz — Nigerian-British content creator, hairstylist and creative director for a no-holds-barred conversation about money, fame, love, and surviving Lagos as a woman who refuses to shrink herself.Miss Demz opens up about growing up in London convinced she was Jamaican, her first culture-shock trip to Nigeria at 15, and how a planned six-month stay in Lagos turned into four years. She breaks down the real cost of showing up “influencer-ready” for a high-society wedding gele, nails, makeup, hair and waxing alone before you even get to the outfit and shares the wild story of getting arrested twice over a prop gun for a photoshoot. She also gets candid about dating in Lagos, sponsorship, the city’s elite dating scene, and doesn’t hold back on her views about patriarchy, domestic violence, and what’s actually changing for women in Nigeria versus what’s just talk online.Funny, sharp, and unafraid to say the quiet part out loud — this is Miss Demz exactly as advertised.#droptheshouldPowered by CcHUB in partnership with Africa No Filter Supported by Gates Foundation.Follow us onTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@teawithtaypod?_r=1&_t=ZT-97uyRP9sdOYInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/teawithtaypod?igsh=MTY0bHozOGkzeWEyeQ==X: https://x.com/teawithtaypod?s=21https://www.instagram.com/taymesan_?igsh=MTByZmpzZGQ0MTV4aQ==https://www.tiktok.com/@taymesan?_r=1&_t=ZT-97uyX9pRwB3 Hosted on Acast.
