In this episode of The Sound of Healing, I sit down with Lagos-born singer-songwriter Ollá to explore the heart behind her powerful song, Alakowe.
From the very first listen, I knew this song carried something deeper – a message of grace, self-compassion, and the reminder to keep going, even when life doesn’t look the way we thought it would.
Ollá shares the story of writing Alakowe during a moment of self-doubt while traveling between countries… hearing her mother’s voice in her head… and being reminded to slow down, breathe, and take life one step at a time.
We talk about pressure, purpose, reinvention, and what it really means to go easy on yourself.
If you’ve ever felt behind, not enough, or unsure of your path… this one will meet you right where you are.
