037 Representation Matters - TAYO JAIYESIMI talks about Her 5 to 9 Side Hustle

Travelling Through... London, the World and Life

TAYO JAIYESIMI is also known as The Five To Nine Traveller : because life is more than your 9 to 5.

Tayo is first generation British/Nigerian and describes herself as a "Londoner by birth, a Jordie lass by nurture with Nigerian spice". She considers her five to nine life as precious in which she can explore, dance, travel and "do all the other bits away from work".

Tayo believes that the black experience is not a monolith and that representation matters in all segments of our society. She believes the world is a place to learn from and that travelling is just one big school trip.

Adventure and travel is her "side hustle" and in this podcast chat we talk about independent travel, Nigeria, food, dancing and how it feels to be "othered" in a predominantly white environment.

These are Tayo's thoughts on London, the world and life as we stroll alongside the Grand Union Canal on an overcast Saturday in March.
