Anisa Nandaula (Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Gen) dives headfirst into the chaos of her life - nearly getting into a fight, feuding with her next-door neighbour, and surviving her old workplace drama. Then, after a decade away, she returns to Africa and brings back a suitcase full of hilarious, unforgettable stories. No filters, no small talk - just big laughs.
