Summary
In this bonus episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B reflects on the transition into 2026, blending personal storytelling with cultural and social commentary as she unpacks lessons from the past year. She shares insights from a Christmas trip to Curaçao, using the experience to explore the importance of family traditions, rest, and redefining what home means during life transitions. The conversation shifts to a tragic incident involving Anthony Joshua, sparking a deeper discussion about accountability, reckless behavior, and the real-world consequences of individual actions. Mandii also offers candid reflections on cultural experiences in Nigeria, balancing admiration for its richness with concerns around safety, infrastructure, and the realities of global travel. As the new year approaches, she challenges the popular “new year, new me” mindset, emphasizing accountability, consistency, and intentional growth over performative resolutions. The episode closes with a nuanced discussion on anti-vaccination rhetoric, parental choice, and societal responsibility, highlighting how personal decisions intersect with public health and collective well-being in an increasingly polarized world.
