Your Family's Dream Isn't Your Dating Plan ft. Tega Orhorhoro

This week, Maria talks with creator and political strategist Tega Orhorhoro bout growing up in a Nigerian household, dealing with constant pressure to "reach the next milestone," and learning to date on her own terms. Tega shares how reading Ask a Matchmaker changed how she approaches apps and why small updates to her profile completely shifted who she matches with.

They also talk about Tega's rise online, her mix of accents, and how she built a relatable voice by telling the truth about culture, college, and identity. The episode explores family expectations, dating clarity, and finding confidence in your own timeline!
