If You Don't Know: Losing your wife and son ft. Global Boga

Losing your wife and son ft. Global Boga

BBC Radio 1Xtra - If You Don't Know, Losing your wife and son ft. Global Boga

Nicole Thea's husband, Global Boga, on how he’s coping three years on from her death.

In July 2020, Nicole Thea - a  popular content creator and YouTuber - died, along with her unborn son, Reign, who she was eight months pregnant with. Her husband Global Boga joins us to share how he’s been coping three years on, and to tell us about the Nicole Thea Foundation. 

After Nicole died, her inquest found she had an underlying heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It’s also known as HCM… but, what is it? And how do you find out if you’ve got it? Doctor Khadija Owusu pays the pod a visit to tell us about the condition and also how we can all better look after ourselves. 

For this special episode, De-Graft is joined by guest co-host Jonelle Awomoyi. You might recognise her as a BBC News Tik Tok presenter and co-host of the Reliable Sauce podcast!
