In this bold episode of For Mannerless Women, Adelle sits down with author and mother of four, Felgonah Oya, who shares her powerful story of getting divorced at 31 with four young children. Felgonah opens up about:
  • Walking away from a marriage despite family and societal pressure.
  • The shocking reactions she faced from friends and relatives.
  • The long, messy, expensive reality of divorce in Kenya.
  • Her raw healing journey—allowing herself to grieve, get angry, and slowly rebuild.
  • Rediscovering identity, love, and dating after divorce.
  • Writing as a form of survival and her latest book I’m Healed, Send Me Another Man.
This episode is a reminder that choosing yourself is not failure, it’s freedom.
Tap in for an honest, unfiltered conversation about divorce, healing, identity, and living life on your own terms.

Each week on Legally Clueless, Adelle Onyango turns the microphone toward the beautifully messy reality of growth. As a well-known Kenyan media personality and social activist, she doesn't offer polished advice from a stage, but instead documents her own unvarnished experiences, framing her life as an evolving and unapologetically African woman. This creates a rare and welcoming atmosphere where uncertainty isn't a flaw but a shared starting point. The heart of this podcast lives in the stories-Adelle opens the space for a chorus of African voices to share personal narratives that might teach you something one moment and have you laughing or crying the next. These aren't theoretical discussions; they're authentic accounts from everyday lives, full of the specific textures and truths that often go unheard. Tuning in feels less like attending a lecture and more like sitting in on a powerful, ongoing conversation where the only requirement is to be human. You'll find a sense of connection in hearing others navigate the same complexities you do, all within the candid and compassionate world this podcast builds every episode.
