About This Podcast

Welcome to the Dating Unsettled Show where we dare to date differently hosted by Joy Ofodu, a Creative Executive who has reached millions of people with my original comedy content, voiceover and original stories. I am unsettled by my Nigerian culture's expectations of dating. I'm unsettled by American dating norms and traumas. I harnessed my inner romantic and childhood dreams of a healthy BLACK relationship to author a new set of dating rules, ones that work for me, rules that made Black love not only possible but PROBABLE. I was going to fall in love, and I knew I would find it online. I refused to settle. I swiped on over 2,000 profiles, matched with over 150 fine young gentlemen and went on about 20 first dates with some amazing guys. You already got 50 apps in your phone baby, what's one more? Dating Unsettled, where we dare to date differently. Make sure you're subscribed anywhere where you can listen to podcasts. Follow me @joyofodu and follow the show @datingunsettled. It would help me tremendously if you would rate and review the show FIVE STARS. Thank you for your undying love and support
