    We are 3 years old now. Happy 3rd anniversary to the SistasLetsTalk Podcast. It's been a journey for which we are grateful. Every year, we tailor our episodes based on a theme. We just completed the Generational Wealth season. In this new season, our theme is "The practical applications of God's Promises in our lives'. We know His promises, how do we incorporate this into our daily lives. His word never changes, so His promises must come to pass. Why aren't they? Or why aren't they always coming to pass? Is it that we only see promises as "curiosities at a museum?" What are some practical ways we can apply these promises and see the end result like He promised? We will have guests on the show to discuss, like always, the truths and the in-betweens that we don't always want to talk about. Welcome to the lounge.

There are a lot of different things to think about when building a house, and sometimes it can be difficult to know who to trust. In this episode, we're going to be talking about the different risks and dangers that come with building a house in Africa. We'll also be talking about the different types of middlemen you might have to deal with, and what to do if things go wrong. Kabba shares his story with sistasletstalk podcast hosts on his journey navigating the ups and downs of building a home in Gambia and how you can avoid them Hosea 4:6 says, " my people perish because of lack of knowledge". We delve into what you need to know as one residing in the diaspora; wanting to build a house back in you home country/Motherland. Is this something worth doing? What are the benefits? What are the pitfalls? Why pursue this venture over say renting or staying with family or friends. We discuss all this with Guest Speaker Kabba who has first time experience building a home away from home. Listen and share. Have you had similar experiences? Good or bad? Let us know. etc...
