Watch the trailer

A first look at the heart of the series.

Watch this introduction trailer for a glimpse into the heart of Between Home and Abroad, and the kind of honest, beautiful stories Season One is creating space to tell.

The invitation

Your story may just be the one another woman has been waiting to hear.


Behind every Naija woman in the diaspora is a story the world may not fully know.

The sacrifice behind the success. The transition behind the smile. The responsibility behind the strength. The faith behind the survival. The reinvention behind the life she is building.

Between Home and Abroad is creating a dignified, emotionally rich space for Nigerian women in Houston to share the truth of their journey, not just what they have achieved, but what it took to become.

This is not about perfect stories. It is about real ones.

About the show

A premium storytelling series about Naija women, home, identity, and brave reinvention.


Between Home and Abroad is a documentary-style conversation series featuring Nigerian women in the diaspora as they reflect on identity, marriage, motherhood, ambition, family responsibility, cultural tension, sacrifice, faith, reinvention, and the meaning of home.

Each episode invites one woman into a warm, documentry-style conversation supported by personal photos, guided home footage, family moments, and reflective storytelling.
The goal is to tell the fuller story with beauty, honesty, dignity, and hope. This show does not glorify leaving Nigeria.
It does not reduce women to struggle. It does not chase gossip or drama. It honors the woman behind the life.
Houston is only the beginning.

Future editions may include Dallas, Austin, Atlanta, DMV, London, Toronto, Alberta, and beyond.

Why Houston

Season One begins in Houston.

Houston is home to a vibrant Nigerian and African diaspora community filled with women who are building families, careers, businesses, ministries, legacies, and second chapters.

This first edition will spotlight the untold stories of Naija women across Greater Houston, women who have carried home in their hearts while building new lives, navigating transitions, raising families, pursuing purpose, and becoming in ways many people never see.

Who we are looking for

Story-rich Naija women in the Houston area.

We are not only looking for women with impressive titles or public success alone. We are looking for women with real, powerful stories that inspire.

Academic, career, or entrepreneurial achievements
Marriage, divorce, widowhood, or relationship reinvention
Motherhood and raising children between cultures
Career change, entrepreneurship, education, or rebuilding
Faith, healing, grief, burnout, or starting over
Family responsibility, caregiving, or cultural pressure
Identity shifts, midlife awakening, or reclaiming your voice
Building abroad while still carrying Nigeria deeply

You do not need to be famous. You do not need to have everything figured out. You only need a meaningful story, a willing heart, and a desire to help another woman feel seen and less alone.
