We’re excited to tell you about a brand new storytelling show – hosted and produced by the amazing Lupita Nyong’o – that we are just loving. It’s called Mind Your Own, and it’s about navigating what it means to belong, all from the African perspective.

Lupita Nyong’o knows what home feels like. But where exactly is it? In Mexico, where she was born? Kenya, where she grew up? Or the States, where she’s spent the past 20 years? Like Lupita, millions of Africans are spread out across the globe following family, searching for love, building futures and creating stories. It's these stories – wild and messy, intimate and joyous – that she wants to hear.

Here’s the first episode of Mind Your Own. It’s about what it’s like to try to find your voice. You’ll hear a story from Lupita, and then you’ll meet a Ghanaian who rediscovered his voice after losing it. Mind Your Own – listen to the whole series wherever you get your podcasts or head to https://lemonada.lnk.to/mindyourownfd.

It's insanely expensive to train and compete as an Olympian and you get paid an annual salary of exactly zero dollars to do it – unless you win a medal and even then you gotta make that paycheck last until the next Olympics. We sat down with Erin to talk about the price of being the best in the world, and how to make a living doing what you love.
