🎤 In this episode:
Singer-songwriter and British Podcast Award finalist Gigi opens up about the extraordinary twists in her life — from being sent from South London to Nigeria as a child, to facing years of pain from Crohn’s disease, to hearing the words no one ever expects: “We think it’s cancer.”
💫 This is a story of shock, resilience and self-belief — of learning to take control when everything feels lost. Gigi shares how she reversed her illness, rebuilt her life, and found healing through her music and her voice.
