In this episode, Bukola chats with the Yonce of All Things, Pearlé Nwaezeigwe. For the OG's, Pearlé has been on the podcast before and she is such an animated and high spirited human. In this episode, she talked about her journey from getting job offers at Meta and Twitter, accepting Twitter's offer, resigning from her job at TikTok and being impacted by the Layoff wave at Twitter. Pearlé vulnerably shares her experience having to deal with the loss of her new job, staying above water and turning her story around. She talks about settling in the United Kingdom and how over the years, the challenges she has surmounted has heavily improved her confidence level.
Seriously, if there is one episode I will recommend that you listen to, this is the one.
