In this deeply honest and uplifting episode of Tea With Tay, Chef Tolani Oshikoya - famously known as Diary of a Kitchen Lover, takes a seat on Tay’s couch and opens up like never before. From juggling a 9–5 job to becoming one of Africa’s most loved food content creators, Tolani shares the real story behind the viral recipes, the late nights, and the quiet moments no one sees.
But beyond the aesthetics of food plating and perfect posts, this episode reveals the raw truths, the heartbreak of multiple failed pregnancies, the financial and emotional toll of IVF, and the silent battles she fought while smiling for the camera.

Raised in a fiercely entrepreneurial and loving household, Tolani's story is one of grit, grace, and growth. It’s a testament to what happens when faith meets hard work, and when a woman decides to rewrite her story — not once, but over and over again.
