Pitch 1: I would like to interview 3 women in different age groups (18-25) (25-35) (35-45). There is much talk about the obstacles in dating among us all. With advances in technology, among other things, the “old” or “chivalrous” ways of courting seem to be less expected or even necessary. I hope to hear of the expectations and experiences in a way that I can compare and contrast why things ‘are how they are’.
Pitch 2: The Babalowo that I met while following my friend seems like such an interesting person. He is somewhere between Nigeria and New York, navigating both spaces as a ‘resident’ hereby being a full part of both cultures. I would love to speak with him about carrying his tradition here and what the experience is like dealing with non natives to Yoruba who are assimilating to his culture.
