Additionally, portraits of the ten remarkable women featured in The AYA Talks Podcast are only a few of the gems found on the blog.

"J’ai absolument ADORE cet épisode des AYA Talks présenté par Muna Lobé. Je le recommande vivement à toute personne intéressée par les thématiques de la spiritualité et du bien-être d’un point de vue holistique, afro et féminin. J’ai énormément appris et juste hâte de découvrir toutes les ressources que nous offre Clarisse (Libène)."

"Une belle conversation entre la douce Muna Lobé, à l’initiative du podcast THE AYA TALKS et Doris, artiste et poétesse. Les questions liées à l’identité , la féminité, l’africanité, la place de la femme noire au sein de la société française et l’afro-féminisme sont abordés, le tout ponctué de quelques passages des chansons de Doris."

"Encore un moment dense et très précis avec THE AYA TALKS par Muna Lobé. Militance à pleine conscience, selfcare, tolérance mais surtout un avis incisif sur la société, le système éducatif et un appel à la restructuration d’une société mal éclairée sur tellement de points, comme celui des femmes racisées dans le monde entier. Merci à Audrey Warrington pour cette première partie très instructive. Le féminisme nous concerne tous et nous rend plus humains"
