From ‘Not Radio Material’ to Community Pillar: The Moji Taiwo Story

In this special Black History Month episode, I sit down with the remarkable mama Moji Taiwo to unpack a journey that is as powerful as it is profound. From her early days arriving in Calgary—when Alberta’s Black community was small and visibility was even smaller—Moji shares what it meant to navigate unfamiliar spaces with grace, resilience, and unwavering dignity. As one of the few Black faces in many rooms, she didn’t fight for space loudly; she became the standard. Through quiet confidence, firm boundaries, and consistent excellence, she helped reshape how Black families, Black children, and Black professionals were seen and understood. We explore the evolution of Calgary’s Black community over the years—what has changed, what still needs work, and the importance of representation across generations. Moji reflects on the subtle yet powerful ways she paved the path, often without applause, and how those seeds are blooming today. She also shares heartfelt, motherly wisdom—on raising children with identity and pride, standing tall in rooms not built for you, and leading with integrity when eyes are or are not watching. This episode is a tribute to the women who built quietly, endured gracefully, and shifted culture without demanding recognition. A timely and necessary conversation for Black History Month—and beyond.
