New bi-weekly live talk show offers a culturally grounded safe space for women to breathe, heal, and speak.
London, United Kingdom, December 2025 – Mental health and women’s advocate Blessing Makanjuola is set to launch a new talk show, Healing Spaces with Blessing, in mid-January 2026, creating a culturally grounded safe space for women to speak openly about motherhood, trauma, identity, grief, cultural pressure, and healing.
The bi-weekly series will stream live via Instagram Live and on YouTube, reaching women across Africa and the diaspora. Each episode will focus on naming women’s experiences, breaking isolation, and offering gentle next steps toward support.
“Healing Spaces with Blessing was born from my own journey,” said Makanjuola. “Childhood taught me how often girls are asked to swallow pain so adults and culture stay comfortable.”
She explained that pregnancy and childbirth further shaped her vision after witnessing how women endure miscarriages, traumatic births, and silent mental health struggles while still being expected to function normally.
“I realised how often women almost die emotionally, and sometimes physically, and the world just says, ‘Congratulations,’” Makanjuola said, referencing the Yoruba expression “Ẹ kú ewu ọmọ,” which acknowledges the danger of childbirth.
Describing the show as a sanctuary rather than a spectacle, she added: “This is a space where women’s stories are finally heard, their pain is believed, and they are supported to breathe, heal, and speak.”
Healing Spaces with Blessing will air bi-weekly beginning mid-January 2026.
