Is Japa Still Worth It?

Is Japa Still Worth It?

We’re back and we’re kicking off season five by asking: what happens when Japa doesn’t feel like a one-way trip anymore?


Abimisola and Malik catch up on their own Japa journeys, returning home, changing immigration rules, and the growing desire to keep one foot here and one foot there. Plus, we’re talking Lagos, “touching soil,” aging parents, and what it really means to have options.


And because Japa Diaries is growing beyond the podcast, we’re sharing what’s next for the community, from events and screenings to our new street series.


Welcome to season five gang! Let’s get into it 💚
